The Directional Quality of Electricity is called Voltage


Give an example in which velocity is zero yet acceleration is not zero?

Velocity is directional, so if something is accelerating in the opposite direction from the one it is moving it, there will come a point where it has 0 velocity but still has accelerating. If you throw a ball at the ground and it bounces, for example.


Is it possible for an object in freefall to have no acceleration?

No, but it is possible to not have an increase in speed. Because velocity is a directional quantity, not a scalar one, an object in freefall (by definition within a gravity field) is always under acceleration, just not necessarily one that alters its speed or even its position. Objects in orbit around a planet are in freefall (hence weightlessness) where the tangential component of their forward motion opposes the pull of gravity.


Is acceleration directly proportional to force?

It isn't. It is proportional to acceleration. This follows from momentum conservation which is a deeper law than Newton's second law (which implies the same of course, but Newton's second law is strictly not true at high speeds). To give an even deeper, and possibly incomprehensible but still true, answer: momentum conservation is a result of the requirement that the laws of nature are the same at every point in space.


Is there any difference between angular acceleration and radial acceleration?

Yes. A ngular acceleration is to do with something turning. Radial acceleration is linear acceleration perpendicular to the angular acceleration.

What is changing acceleration?

Changing acceleration is the property of adding to or reducing the rate of movement of an object. This is done by using directional force on the object.

What is acceleration determined by?

Acceleration is determined by the change in velocity (speed with a directional component) divided by the change in time (how long something takes). a = V2-V1/T2-T1

What is the definition of directional change?

Directional change refers to a shift or movement in a specific direction, often associated with a change in course or orientation. It can involve adjustments in strategy, objectives, or focus to align with new goals or circumstances.
