When the direction of an object changes what happens to it's velocity?

A change in the direction of motion IS a change of velocity,
even if the speed doesn't change.

What happens when velocity changes?
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration".
What happens when you have unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.
How can velocity of a moving object change?
Well, Velocity is speed in a spefic direction so if it changes it direction it changes altogether. Sk8
Is acceleration how quickly an object's velocity changes?
Yes, acceleration is the how the velocity changes. This also includes when an object turns
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'.
What happens to an object's velocity when it accelerates?
"Acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.

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'.
What happens to the speed of an object that is accelerating?
The speed may, or may not, change. Acceleration means that the velocity changes; this means that either the speed changes, or the direction.
Does velocity of an object remain constant in uniform circular motion?
Velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. Since the linear velocity changes direction the speed is constant but the velocity is NOT constant.
Velocity is the change of speed and direction of an object?
No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.
Why the speed of an object is constant while the velocity is not?
This is not always the case. But if an object moves in a circle, at constant speed, its velocity will change. Velocity is a vector - consisting of the magnitude (the speed), and a direction. So by definition, if the direction changes, the velocity changes - you have a different vector.
Is an object going in circles at a constant speed an accelerated motion?
Yes. Acceleration is the change in velocity, and velocity is a vector, which means it has direction. Because an object undergoing uniform circular motion is changing direction, it is changing velocity, and thus, accelerating.
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
