When you change direction are you accelerating true or false?

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


What is the rate of change for linear equations?

It is the gradient: the change in the vertical direction divided by the change in the horizontal direction.


Is the moon's acceleration expressed as a change in speed or a change in direction?

The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.


What is the direction of the induced current in a loop when there is a change in magnetic field 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 turn's around or reverses direction in its motion what happens?

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.


What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by 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.

What must be applied to an object to change 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.


Why does a change of speed produce a change in 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.)


Why do 3 phase electric motors change direction?

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


What changes in motion can result in a change in velocity?

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.
