What else can I help you with?
Velocity can be defined as what in a given direction?
Velocity can be defined as speed in a given direction. It is a vector quantity that specifies the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, along with the direction in which it is moving.
Forces can change the what of movement of an object?
Forces can change the speed, direction, or both speed and direction of movement of an object.
What is speed is given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
How fast an object is going in a given direction?
An object's speed in a given direction is its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. It describes how fast and in which direction an object is moving.
What is speed in given direction?
Speed in a given direction refers to velocity, which is a vector quantity that includes both the magnitude (speed) and direction of an object's motion. It describes how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.
What is a change in speed and direction called?
If an object is in motion, we apply the term speed to the distance (displacement) it achieves for a given unit of time. If we take speed and add a direction vector, as is asked here, we are talking about the velocity of the object.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Changing an object's direction without affecting speed requires a force that acts perpendicular to the object's velocity, such as centripetal force or gravitational force. This force causes the object to change direction while continuing at a constant speed. Other forces acting parallel to the object's velocity can change its speed as well as its direction.
In what three ways can accelerationchange an object's motion?
Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or direction of an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.
What is a change in an object's motion called?
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?
FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.
Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Velocity is a vector quantity that represents the rate of change of an object's position in a specific direction. It includes both the speed of the object and its direction of motion. Mathematically, velocity is calculated as the rate of change of position with respect to time.
How can object accelerate when it does not change speed?
Let's review some terms before we tackle this one. Speed is displacement per unit of time. We know 60 miles per hour is a speed. Velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. We know 60 miles per hour east is velocity. Acceleration is a change in velocity. That means if an object changes its speed or its direction or both, it is accelerating.If an object has a given velocity and it slows down or speeds up, it is accelerated. But if the same object changes direction without a change in speed, it is still experiencing acceleration. A force had to act on the object to change its direction, even though its speed didn't change. Thus, an object can accelerate even though it does not change speed.
