This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.

If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
An unbalanced force
When an object is acted on by unbalanced forces, the object will?
Move (or change direction/speed if it was already moving).
Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?
An unbalanced force can: change the speed an object moves at change the direction an object is moving cause an object to start/stop moving
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
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 you change the velocity of a moving object you change the?
Speed or direction or both.
How can a force effect a moving object?
It can change its speed or direction.
What does newtons first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?
The object will maintain its speed and direction or the object will not change its speed or direction.
If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
An unbalanced force
Can density cause a change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
yes
When an object is acted on by unbalanced forces, the object will?

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 happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
What effect do forces have on a moving object?
Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.
