Want this question answered?
Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.
It doesn't. It will change an objects direction and/or speed but its inertia that keeps it moving.
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).
The change in an objects position is called motion.
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
Speed and direction is called velocity.

Motion is change of position. but remember both must always be related to some 'datum' position or state of motion.
translatory motion
1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
That is called "velocity".
