acceleration in a direction that is not parallel to the direction you are moving
True. Acceleration is any change in velocity, including a change in direction. So when you change direction, you are indeed accelerating.
Asteroids dont change direction
It is the gradient: the change in the vertical direction divided by the change in the horizontal direction.
The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.
When there is a change in the direction of the magnetic field in a loop, an induced current is generated in the loop in a direction that opposes the change in the magnetic field.
When an object changes direction in its motion, its velocity changes, and if the object is accelerating, its acceleration will also change direction. This change in direction is due to the application of a force in the opposite direction. The object's kinetic energy may also change as a result of this change in direction.
A change in velocity due to a change in direction in a space shuttle is caused by the application of thrust from its engines. By adjusting the direction of thrust, the shuttle can alter its velocity vector, changing its speed and/or direction of travel. This allows the shuttle to adjust its course, orbit, or perform maneuvers in space.
when it changes its direction
A force must be applied to an object in order to change its direction. By exerting a force at an angle to the object's initial direction of motion, the object will change its path and move in a different direction.
It doesn't. For example, you can go in a straight line, and speed up or slow down, without changing direction. And if there is both a change in direction and a change in speed, the change of speed wouldn't be the CAUSE for a change in direction. (On the other hand, both can be caused by a force applied to an object.)
because when you change any two phases you change the direction of the current flow in the windings so you end up reversing the direction of the induced flux and the direction in which it acts
Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.
