If an object's speed is changing ... either growing or shrinking ... or the direction of its motion is changing, or any combination of these changes, then the object is said to be accelerated.

∙ 14y agoNo. Acceleration is simply the change in velocity, or the change in speed, whichever way want to think about it. If the object is slowing down, it has a negative acceleration. If it is speeding up, it has a positive acceleration. If it is at a constant speed/velocity, it has zero acceleration.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. Since velocity is a measurement of speed and direction, acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object's motion.
Another Answer
Acceleration is the difference in velocity (which is the difference in displacement / difference in time) divided by the difference in time. Acceleration is not directly related to the change of speed or the change in direction. They will however affect the overall time.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAcceleration is change of velocity / time.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoAn object is accelerating if its speed or direction changes with time. Since speed and direction are the components of velocity, an object is accelerating if its velocity changes with time.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Acceleration is the rate of change in speed (either linear or rotational).
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoOnly the acceleration brings a change in velocity.

When an object is accelerating it's speed is?
In that case, the speed changes over time.
Velocity can change if the speed and direction of the object changes and can change if the object remains blank fill in the blank?
The answer for the blank is "constant".
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.
When an object is accelerating?
An object is accelerating when its speed or direction changes
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
When an object is accelerating it's speed is?
In that case, the speed changes over time.
Velocity can change if the speed and direction of the object changes and can change if the object remains blank fill in the blank?
The answer for the blank is "constant".
What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?
An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.
When is a time where speed does not change but the object is still accelerating?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector. It has a magnitude ( speed ) and a directio. If either the speed or the direction of motion changes the object is accelerating. Example; an object moving in a circle at constant speed is accelerating because its direction is continually changing.
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.
When an object is accelerating?
An object is accelerating when its speed or direction changes
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
Is something accelerating with a constant speed?
That is possible, for example, if an object moves around in a circle. In this case, the velocity changes all the time; the speed does not.
When is an object not accelerating?
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
How can an object be accelerating while traveling at the same speed?
Acceleration is the rate of change of VELOCITY, not of SPEED. If the velocity changes, there is acceleration. It is enough for the direction to change.
An object that is accelerating may be?
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.
When an object is accelerating What is its speed?
It will have increase in speed with increase in time
