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". A force is necessary to cause it.

What can happen through a change in speed or direction?
velocity can happen
Why does the change in velocity happen?
Wherever you see a change in velocity, you know that unbalanced forces had to be involved somehow. Without those, velocity can't change.
What is a change in velocity or direction?
Any change in speed or direction is a change in velocity. That's an acceleration,and it directly implies the presence of force, since it can't happen without force.
What will happen to a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force?
It will not accelerate. That means that its velocity won't change.
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".
Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?
It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't.

What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?
A change in velocity constitutes a change in direction because velocity includes direction.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
What is a change in velocity in given period of time?
Change in velocity = Velocity at the end of the period minus velocity at the start of the period.
What would happen to an object's velocity if no work was being done on the object?
The velocity might still change, in the case of a force applied at a right angle to the movement. In this case, since the object's direction changes, its velocity changes.

Is Velocity any change in motion?
Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity is a change in speed and or direction. I am not sure what motion means in a technical sense (velocity?).
