A change in a velocity in a certain amount of time is called?

That is called "acceleration". In symbols, that would be a = dv/dt; this means change in velocity divided by change in time, for a small time period.


A continuous change in position is called?

a continuous change in position is called Motion


Why is slope also called the rate of change?

For every cm you go along x, you change a certain amount in y cm. So y is changing a certain amount per unit change in x. If the plot were y versus t, then y would be called changing at a certain amount per second, like a velocity. Velocity is another word for rate of change of y.


The rate at which an object changes position is called what?

A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.


Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?

That is called acceleration.


A ..is required to change the speed and direction of a moving body?

Force. Change in speed and direction is change in velocity. Change is velocity is called acceleration a=F/m.. The amount of change is the amount of acceleration and that depends inversely on the mass and directly on the force.


What is the objects change in speed called?

That's simply called a change in velocity. On the other hand, the rate of change in velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is called acceleration.


The rate of change of displacement is called?

The rate of change of displacement is called a velocity.


What is the rate in change of velocity called?

The increase in velocity is called acceleration and an decrease is called deceleration.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".


Can you be accelerating if you are traveling at constant speed?

Velocity is speed in a certain direction. You can keep speed the same, and if you change direction then you have changed velocity.


The process of changing velocity?

The process of velocity change is called acceleration.
