What happens to the speed of a moving object when it accelerates?

An object is accelerating if any of these things are happening . . .
-- its speed is increasing
-- its speed is decreasing
-- its direction is changing.
The object may be accelerating even if its speed isn't changing.
Acceleration does not mean "speeding up".

If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it decelerates?
It slows down.
What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.
An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate of velocity?
No. An object in free-fall accelerates at a constant rate of acceleration.Its speed grows at a constant rate.
If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it's moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
What happens when you apply force in an object in space?
It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it decelerates?
It slows down.
What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it.decelerate?
Decelerate means to slow down.
What happen when you apply a force on an object in space?
It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.
An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate of velocity?
No. An object in free-fall accelerates at a constant rate of acceleration.Its speed grows at a constant rate.
When an object accelerate what can it do?
When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.
What happens if a large mass is dropped into something moving at constant speed?
The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."
What happens to an object when the forces are balenced and it's moving?
Then the result will be the same as if NO forces act on the object (since the sum of the forces is zero). The object will continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.
