Acceleration is a rate of change of motion. It's usually measured in x squared, or x per second, per second. Acceleration may be a rate of change (not a change, a rate of change) such as: Zero to 50 miles per hour may be ten miles per second, per second. The first second, he was going 10 mph...the second second he was going 20 mph... the 3rd second he's going 30 miles per hour.... So...the acceleration is 10 exponent 2 or 10 miles per second squared. For acceleration to happen, an object must continue to increase it's speed. It has to go 10 then 20 then 30 then 40 then 50 miles per hour to accelerate. A RATE of change of speed.

By applying more force to the object or lowering the object's mass. Lowering the object's mass allows one to apply the same amount of force as before and the object will accelerate further. This is due to force being equal to mass times acceleration.

When a net force acts on that object, there is a change in velocity, and thus acceleration.

Unbalanced forces. F = ma, where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration. a = F/m

Increase the force behind it or increase the pull in front of it, increase the rotation or decrease the resistance

A force must operate on the object. The force must be greater than any restraining factors (friction, tethers, etc.)

You can either decrease the mass or increase the friction. Hope this helps :)

Increasing the speed of an object does not affect that object's what?

mass


How does increasing the speed of an object change its momentums?

Increasing the speed of an object will increase its momentum as well (momentum=mass*velocity).


If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?

increasing speed


When is acceleration of an object positive?

When its speed is increasing


What effect does increasing the speed of an object have on the potential energy of the object?

None.


If the speed of an object does not change the object is traveling at what speed?

there's four speed. There are constant speed, average speed, increasing speed, and decreasing speed. choose one of them


How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?

Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.


What happens to the speed of a moving object when it accelerates?

An object is accelerating if any of these things are happening . . .-- its speed is increasing-- its speed is decreasing-- its direction is changing.The object may be accelerating even if its speed isn't changing.Acceleration does not mean "speeding up".


When an object increases in speed what does the accleration vector do?

An object with an increasing speed is in fact accelerating, hence the acceleration vector may be continually changing (but >0) with time.


What is an object doing if its speed is changing?

According to the "Physics Classroom" website (refer to the link, below), an object changing its speed, whether increasing or decreasing, is said to be "accelerating".


If the acceleration of an object is constant what is the object doing?

With poor language we cannot assess. Any way the objects speed goes on increasing


Can a body have decreasing acceleration but increasing speed?

Of course. The magnitude (size) of acceleration is the rate at which speed is changing. As long as the magnitude of acceleration is more than zero, speed is increasing. If the magnitude of acceleration is decreasing, then speed is growing more slowly, but it's still increasing. That's exactly what's happening to an object falling through air. As it falls faster and faster, the force of air resistance increases. The object's acceleration shrinks, and it's speed increases more slowly. When the force of air resistance is equal to the object's weight, the net force on it is zero, its acceleration is zero, and its speed stops increasing. It's then at 'terminal velocity'.
