Best Answer

A moving body can be accelerated by applying a force. This force will act to increase velocity, decrease velocity or change the direction the body is moving. All three of these are acceleration.

It will either speed up, slow down, change direction, or both speed up and change direction, or slow down and change direction.

Meaning of zero acceleration?

Zero acceleration means no change in velocity and no force on the zero accelerating body.


A moving body must undergo a change in?

A moving body must undergo a change of position.


How can you recognise body getting into acceleration?

a body is accelerating if it is speeding up faster and faster. Acceleration is the change in velocity. or the change in speed. Slowing down is also acceleration but it is negative acceleration or de acceleration.


How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?

You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.


Does an object that has balanced forces or no force acting on it must be stationary?

No. An object that has no net force on it will simply not be accelerating. It can be in motion, but it can not have any change in its velocity.


What must change when a body accelerates?

Velocity


Why is a car accelerating as it rounds a corner?

change in direction=change in acceleration


A mass is accelerated when what acts upon the mass?

It depends ... If the body is accelerating uniformly with a constant acceleration a ....then the Force is a constant force.... But if it is accelerating non uniformly....then the Force is not constant...The 2nd law says F=m*a where m is mass of the body...


If an object is accelerating then the forces on it must be?

Friction force


Is a car moving around a curve without changing speed accelerating?

Yes. Even though its speed doesn't change, its velocity does change, therefore it is accelerating.


Why is an object traveling at a constant speed but turning left said to be accelerating?

Acceleration is not a change in speed, but a change in velocity. Velocity is, unlike speed, a vector, and so as the direction of velocity changes there must be an acceleration to cause that change.


Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?

If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
