What are some examples when speed remains constant but the velocity changes?
Velocity is a vector; velocity tells you how fast something is traveling (speed),and its direction. A change in velocity could indicate a change in direction orspeed, or both.
It is possible for a body to have acceleration when moving with constant speed and velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
How acceleration is different from velocity?
Velocity is the rate at which location changes, and the direction in which location changes. Acceleration is the rate at which the size of velocity changes, and the direction in which velocity changes.
An object in circular motion is constantly acceleratingtrue or false?
True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.
What happens when you have unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.
What are acceleration and velocity?
'Velocity' means the rate at which position changes, and the direction in which it changes. 'Acceleration' means the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction in which it changes.
What changes a body's velocity?
A force changes a body's velocity.
How does the change in angle changes the velocity?
Velocity is speed in a direction or speed at an angle. The velocity changes when the speed or angle changes.
Th rate at which velocity changes?
Velocity changes are referred to as acceleration.
What causes a change in velocity?
Velocity changes when an objects position changes.
Does velocity changes when the direction of motion changes?
Yes. The velocity changes when the direction of motion changes, because the definition of 'velocity' is 'speed and the direction'. If either speed or direction changes, then we say the velocity has changed. Notice that if the direction changes, then the velocity changes even if the speed doesn't. "Velocity" is not just a bigger word that you use for 'speed' when you want to sound smart. They mean different things.
In what two ways can velocity be changed?
Velocity changes when the direction of the motion changes.
How does velocity change your momentum?
Momentum is defined as the product of (mass) times (velocity). If the velocity changes, then that product changes.
What happens to an object's velocity when it accelerates?
"Acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.
What are the similarities and differences between speed velocity and acceleration?
Velocity is speed with a direction. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, just as velocity is the rate at which position changes (and jerk is the rate at which acceleration changes).
What happens to an objects velocity as it accelerates?
The velocity changes. Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity, i.e., how fast it changes.
What is the rate at what velocity changes with time?
The rate at which velocity changes in time is called acceleration.
What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes?
accelerationThe rate at which velocity changes is called "acceleration".
How do you distinguish velocity from speed?
Velocity tells you the speed and the direction it's going. Speed only tells you the speed, with no direction.
How can velocity change without changing the speed?
Consider velocity as consisting of a speed, and a direction. If any of the two changes - that is, if either the speed or the direction changes - then the velocity changes.
How does velocity differ from acceleration?
Simply put,acceleration is got when velocity changes with time while velocity is when speed changes with time.
What is the velocity of body moving in circular path?
The velocity changes all the time (since the direction changes); the velocity is perpendicular to the radius.
When speed changes does its velocity change?
Yes. Velocity is both speed and direction. If either the speed or direction change, the velocity changes.
What is the term for which velocity changes over time?
If an object's velocity changes over time, it is accelerating.
How velocity changes with time?
It changes if a force is applied to the body whose velocity is being measured.
