What else can I help you with?
What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
Can you have constant speed but change in velocity?
Yes, you can have constant speed but change in velocity if the direction of motion changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the speed remains constant, if the direction changes, the velocity changes.
Is a change in speed a change in velocity?
Yes, a change in speed can also be a change in velocity if the direction of the object's motion also changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so any change in speed or direction will result in a change in velocity.
What change in velocity?
Objects that do not speed up, slow down, or change it's direction unless they are pulled in some kind of way can change velocity.
When an object's speed change does its velocity change?
Since speed is the magnitude component of the vector quantity of velocity, of course when speed changes velocity also changes. Speed is a one dimensional scalar quantity. Velocity is a three dimensional vector quantity describing both speed and direction of motion.
Does speed change with velocity?
If the velocity changes, the speed may, or may not, change. The velocity can be thought of as having two components: a speed, and a direction. It is possible to change only the direction, for example, when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed. In this case, the velocity changes, but the speed does not.
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.
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 is the objects change in speed called?
That's simply called a change in velocity. On the other hand, the rate of change in velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is called acceleration.
When speed changes does its velocity change?
When the object is acted upon by an outside force.
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
When does the speed of an object change?
An object's speed changes whenever the rate of change between the distance the object travels and the time it takes to travel that distance changes. Do not confuse speed with velocity; speed is scalar, and velocity is vector. Velocity can change when speed remains constant.
