it depends on many variables, friction, drag, what kind of object is it, does it have a motor and/or brakes. your question is too vague be specific

What is the rate at which speed or direction changes?
Acceleration
A change in speed or direction?
A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.
What is a change in speed or direction?
Acceleration
What 2 ways causes an object's velocity to change?
If an object's speed changes, or it heads off in a new direction, its velocity has changed. Because of friction and gravity 1. acceleration 2. deceleration 3. change of direction
What changes when an unbalanced force acts upon an object?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". When the entire group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object accelerates, in the direction of the vector sum of the forces.
What two factors does acceleration depend on?
-- the magnitude and direction of the force acting on an object -- the mass of the object being forcefully acted upon
When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?
If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.
What two thing does acceleration depend upon?
mass and net foce
How do you work out the deceleration?
Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.
Can a body have a uniform speed having an acceleration?
Yes a body can have both a uniform speed and an acceleration. This is because speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it does not depend on direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it does depend on direction. This means that when you are changing direction you are accelerating in that direction. During this time your speed may remain constant. Think about taking a turn in a car. You can put on enough gas to keep you at 20 mph but you are still changing direction so you are accelerating.
What changes speed and direction?
Velocity is defined as a vector quantity representing both speed and direction. Acceleration is defined as the rate at which velocity changes. The acceleration of an object changes when it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is acceleration since it has magnitude and direction?
Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Does change in direction cause acceleration?
Not necessarily. Changing direction does affect the velocity, which is acceleration and direction combined.
What is the town you come to out of the Mohave Desert?
That would depend upon which direction you are exiting the Mojave and from what origin.
What is the direction of instantaneous acceleration?
The acceleration can be in any direction; it depends on the specific situation.
Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?
Acceleration is a direction plus a speed. If either changes then the acceleration changes.
Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?
yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
