Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?
No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.
What is the changing of speed of light called?
Refraction.
How fast you are changing your speed or direction of travel is a property of motion known as?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of both speed and direction.
What is it called When an objects speed is not changing?
Terminal velocity if it has reached its top speed. Or obviously constant speed.
When does the velocity of an object change?
When its speed changes, when it turns changing its direction of travel or when both occur.
What is speed of motion?
The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.
Can you slow down the bicycle by changing the gear?
No. Simply changing the gear without doing anything else won't slow a bicycle down. You can coast along without peddling and that will slow you down or you can use the brakes to slow the bike. Changing gears will affect the speed only if the current speed is slower than the highest speed you can reasonably attain with the selected gear - changing to a higher gear will help you speed up.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
Is a car increasing in speed when going down a hill positive acceleration?
Yes. It is accelerating because its velocity is changing. Velocity is a combination of speed and the direction of travel (this combination is called a vector, and it can ce viewed as a line segment representing the speed - so twice as fast is twice as long - pointing in the direction of travel (drawn with an arrow tip on the end of the line segment to show the direction of travel). Any change in this vector is called acceleration. Since the length of the vector on this case is increasing, it's called positive acceleration.
Does red light travel faster than blue light?
No. All colors travel at the same speed. It is called "the speed of light".
When an object accelerates it is only changing speed but not direction?
No.When an object accelerates its velocity is changing.As velocity is defined as speed with direction, its velocity changes ifeither the speed or the direction of travel changes.As its velocity is changing it is technically accelerating (or possibly 'decelerating'if you are an American)
