Acceleration, the change of velocity, occurs. DO NOT EVER CALL IT DECELERATION. That term is for the archetypal caudex ( it's latin, look it up)...
Hence, acceleration includes both the increase AND decrease in the rate of change in velocity...and there you have it.

∙ 13y agoNo. Velocity is the combination of speed and direction. If it is constant, then both the speed and direction are constant. On the other hand, velocity can vary even is speed is constant, since the direction can change.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoYes. The complete description of 'velocity' includes the direction of the motion.
So if the direction changes, then the velocity changes, even if the speed doesn't.
Also, any change of velocity is called "acceleration", even if the speed doesn't change.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. The velocity can change if the speed remains constant and the direction changes.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Velocity is both speed and direction. A change in either one is acceleration.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThis is possible when and object is going the same speed while changing direction. This is because velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar value.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoVelocity is dependent on speed AND direction, therefore velocity will change if the direction is changed.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoVerily, that statement ringeth with veracity and truth.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt is change directions.

What is the difference between a objects speed and an objects velocity?
Velocity also includes direction.
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.
Can the velocity of a car which is turning a curve be held constant?
The speed can be constant but the velocity can't, because the directionof motion ... which is a component of velocity ... is changing. Also the velocity of a moving body changes when its speed changes but remains moving towards the same direction ... :) :]
How is circular motion accelerated motion?
"Acceleration" means a change in velocity. And "velocity" is a vector - meaning that not only the magnitude, but also the direction is relevant. So, if the direction of the movement changes, the velocity changes by definition, even if the MAGNITUDE of the velocity (also known as "speed") doesn't change.
How do you change velocity in a car?
The accelerator is one: to increase velocity, push the pedal down, to decrease, lift your foot off. The brake is another, apply the brake and velocity will decrease. also the steering wheel affects it. The gas pedal, the brake pedal, and the steering wheel all do.

What is the difference between a objects speed and an objects velocity?
Velocity also includes direction.
When an object's speed changes does it's velocity also change?
yes, speed is velocity with a direction
When speed changes does its velocity change?
When the object is acted upon by an outside force.

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.

How fast an objects position changes over any giving moment?
Speed.If you also know what direction it changes, then you have velocity.
If the speed of a body remaining same discuss wheather its velocity can change?
Yes; if the direction changes (for instance, if an object moves in a circle), even if its speed doesn't change, its velocity changes. This is because the term "velocity" also includes the direction.

How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.
What is the diffrance between speed and velocity?
Speed is magnitude of velocity, also velocity possess direction.
