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.

What does it mean for an object to have constant speed?
the object's speed doesn't change
Is the rate of change of an object?
the object's "speed"
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Circular motion would change the direction of an object but would not affect the object's speed.
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).
Can speed change?
Yes. In general, the speed of any object can change.
Does change in speed of an object always indicate a change in speed?
yes
Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
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.
The rate of change in an object's velocity is the object's what?
Acceleration.
What happensto the speed of an object if a unbalanced force acts on it?
Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.
If the speed of an object does not change the object is traveling at what speed?
there's four speed. There are constant speed, average speed, increasing speed, and decreasing speed. choose one of them
Is motion the change in speed?
no motion is the movement itself, the change in position of an object with respect to time. rate of change of speed is acceleration. change in speed is just change in speed.
