Acceleration refers to any change in speed, direction, or both. It can be either an increase or decrease in speed, a change in direction, or a combination of both.

Forces can change the what of movement of an object?

Forces can change the speed, direction, or both speed and direction of movement of an object.


What two things can change in velocity do?

Two things that can change in velocity are speed and direction. Speed refers to the rate at which an object is moving, while direction indicates the path along which the object is moving. Both speed and direction can change independently to result in a change in velocity.


When you change speed and direction you are changing what?

When you change speed and direction, you are changing your velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So when you modify either speed, direction, or both, you are altering your velocity.


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.


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.)


Acceleration is a change in speed or?

Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.


What type of force can cause a change an objects speed direction or both?

Why is velocity a vector quantity?

Velocity refers to both speed and direction. A vector refers to both magnitude (the speed in this case) and a direction. Speed without reference to a direction is a scalar, a magnitude without direction.


What refers to a speed of an object in a certain direction?

Velocity. Velocity is a vectored quantity, with a directional component.


What is Difference between angular velocity and angular speed?

Angular velocity refers to the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time and has both magnitude and direction. Angular speed, on the other hand, refers to the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time but does not consider direction and is scalar in nature. In simpler terms, angular velocity includes direction while angular speed does not.


Acceleration involves a change in what two components?

Acceleration refers to the change in velocity, which is a vector quantity, therefore, it means that acceleration can mean the change in speed or the direction of motion or both.


What is accerlation?

Change of speed or direction or both of an object.
