What can cause the direction of an object moving in a straight line to change?
An outside force.
What happens to the direction of motion of the ball what changes it direction of motion?
A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.
What is the job of the single pulley?
A single pulley system is used to change direction of the pulling force line.
What does change in motion mean?
It means any change in -- speed -- direction -- or both. Constant or 'uniform' motion means steady speed in a straight line.
What happens when sound reflects and refract?
In that case, it will change direction - move differently than just in a straight line.
What is a line that does not change direction?
a straight line
What is edge speed in electronics?
A voltage is applied to a signal line. The voltage of the line changes gradually from 0 to +V. The "edge speed" is the rate of change of voltage of the line. A voltage is applied to a signal line. The voltage of the line changes gradually from 0 to +V. The "edge speed" is the rate of change of voltage of the line.
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.)

When Line of latitude run in a north south direction but are measured in what degrees?
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
What is a gradient in maths?
The gradient of a function, in a given direction, is the change in the value of the function per unit change in the given direction. It is, thus, the rate of change of the function, with respect to the direction. It is generally found by calculating the derivative of the function along the required direction. For a straight line, it is simply the slope. That is the "Rise" divided by the "Run".
Does a moving object travel in a line until a force changes its direction?
Yes. A moving object travels in a straight line at constant speed until a net force acts on it. However, the direction will only change if the force is in a different direction then the motion.
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of the line gets?
The slope of a straight line is commonly described as rise over run. In other words, it's the ratio of the change in the y direction to the change in the x direction. Therefore, lines with greater slopes are closer to vertical. A vertical line has infinite slope, and the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?
You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.
What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?
A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.
