Any change in speed or direction is a change in velocity. That's an acceleration,

and it directly implies the presence of force, since it can't happen without force.

When the direction of an object changes what happens to it's velocity?

When the direction of an object changes, its velocity changes as well. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so any change in direction will impact the velocity of the object.


What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?

A change in velocity due to a change in direction in a space shuttle is caused by the application of thrust from its engines. By adjusting the direction of thrust, the shuttle can alter its velocity vector, changing its speed and/or direction of travel. This allows the shuttle to adjust its course, orbit, or perform maneuvers in space.


Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?

It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't.

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".


When you change speed and direction you are changing what?

When you change speed and direction, you are changing your velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So when you modify either speed, direction, or both, you are altering your velocity.


Is a change in speed a change in velocity?

Yes, a change in speed can also be a change in velocity if the direction of the object's motion also changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so any change in speed or direction will result in a change in velocity.


Describe the to ways in which velocity can change?

Velocity can change by either changing the speed of an object or changing its direction of motion. If an object speeds up or slows down, its velocity will change. Similarly, if an object changes its direction, its velocity will also change.


Can direction of velocity of a body change when its acceleration is constant?

Yes, the direction of velocity of a body can change even when its acceleration is constant. This can happen if the acceleration and initial velocity of the body are not aligned in the same direction. The body will still experience a change in velocity due to the constant acceleration, which can lead to a change in direction.


What changes in motion can result in a change in velocity?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.


A change in velocity means a change in?

A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and the direction of motion, so any change in velocity involves altering one or both of these components.


Can a change in velocity always indicate a change in speed?

Velocity has direction as well as magnitude. Speed only has magnitude. So the velocity of something can change without its speed changing. This is what is happening when something is going in a circle.


What is the difference between acceleration and velocity?

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position, while acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. In other words, velocity is the speed and direction of motion, whereas acceleration is the change in speed or direction of motion.
