In what three ways can accelerationchange an object's motion?
Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or direction of an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.
How forces make things change direction?
No
Can something keep a constant velocity in a curve?
No. It can keep a constant SPEED in a curve. But if the direction changes, then that's a change of velocity, and the direction in a curve is constantly changing.
What are the 3 things forces can do when acting on an object?
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
Does a change in direction affect velocity explain?
Direction does not have to change when velocity is changed. You can move North at 10 m/s and change it to 8 m/s a second later. You would still be moving North. But since velocity is a vector, if direction changes, even though speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then velocity most certainly changed, since both magnitude and direction make up the vector.

Why is an object traveling in a circular motion?
acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
How forces make things change direction?
No
How do you make things change direction?
turn them around :)

No. It can keep a constant SPEED in a curve. But if the direction changes, then that's a change of velocity, and the direction in a curve is constantly changing.

What 2 things move in the atmosphere to constantly change weather?
Air and Water
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
Why an object in a circular orbit at constant speed is experiencing an accelaratiopn?
An object in circular orbit at constant speed is experiencing an acceleration because the orbit is circular. That is, an object is accelerating not just when its speed is changing but also when its direction is changing. In physics, acceleration refers to a change in velocity which is composed of speed and direction. Hence both a change in speed and a change in direction are, by definition, a form of acceleration.
What are two important things gears do?
Change speed of rotation. change direction of rotation.
Does a change in direction affect velocity explain?
Direction does not have to change when velocity is changed. You can move North at 10 m/s and change it to 8 m/s a second later. You would still be moving North. But since velocity is a vector, if direction changes, even though speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then velocity most certainly changed, since both magnitude and direction make up the vector.
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.
