What is the rate of change of velocity which occurs if an object speeds up changes direction or slows down?

Any change in velocity, whether to speed up, slow down, or just change direction, results from acceleration. Acceleration is an expression of the rate of change of velocity.

Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
When the direction of an object changes what happens to it's velocity?
A change in the direction of motion IS a change of velocity,even if the speed doesn't change.
How can velocity of a moving object change?
Well, Velocity is speed in a spefic direction so if it changes it direction it changes altogether. Sk8
Why is an object traveling in a circular motion?
acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
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 and direction of an object?
No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.
When an object's speed changes does it's velocity also change?
yes, speed is velocity with a direction
A net force acting on an object changes the objects what?
Direction or shape
Why the speed of an object is constant while the velocity is not?
This is not always the case. But if an object moves in a circle, at constant speed, its velocity will change. Velocity is a vector - consisting of the magnitude (the speed), and a direction. So by definition, if the direction changes, the velocity changes - you have a different vector.
Velocity can change if the speed and direction of the object changes and can change if the object remains blank fill in the blank?
The answer for the blank is "constant".
When does an object undergoes acceleration?
Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object over time. Take note that velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has magnitude and direction...Thus...An object undergoes acceleration when:1. there is a change in the magnitude of the velocity (speed) of an object.2. there is a change in direction of an object.3. it changes both in direction and magnitude.
