Want this question answered?
what happens when a moving object speeds up,slows down,or changes direction?
When the forces on an object are unbalanced the changes that could happen are the object speeds up, or slows down. And it can changes direction.
That is called refraction.
the velocity of an object changes when it speeds up or slows down.
Any time speed or direction changes, that's acceleration. There's no way a balanced group of forces could do any of this, though. The vector sum of a group of balanced forces is zero, and where net force is zero, there's no acceleration.

When an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, it is changing it's velocity, also known as accelerating.This is a common term in mechanical physics. The formula for velocity is D(distance) / T(time) whereas acceleration is the change in velocity which takes time to do making its fomula: D/T^2
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.
It means at least one of these things happens: -- the object speeds up -- the object slows down -- the object keeps moving at the same speed, but turns to a different direction

Net force.
Acceleration
Force can produce several changes. It can change the shape or position of an object by causing it to move or deform. It can also change the speed or direction of an object's motion. Additionally, force can produce changes in the motion of fluids, such as causing them to flow or change direction.
