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.
Acceleration involves a change in what?
It involves the change in velocity, which is a vector quantity, meaning that it is also the change in speed.
Forces can change the what of movement of an object?
speed or direction or both
What is change in the speed of an object?
A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.
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.
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 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.
If you change the velocity of a moving object you change the?
Speed or direction or both.

Can forces acting on an object change speed direction or both?
Both.
Acceleration involves a change in what?
It involves the change in velocity, which is a vector quantity, meaning that it is also the change in speed.
What are acceleration examples?
Examples of acceleration are change in speed, change in direction, or both.
Forces can change the what of movement of an object?
speed or direction or both
Why acceleration produces at constant speed?
Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
What kinds of motion does acceleration refer too?
Acceleration refers to a change in velocity. More precisely, the rate of change of velocity, in symbols, dv/dt.
