Velocity is a vector so it has magnitude (size) and direction. so to change velocity all you need to do is slow down or speed up or change direction.
This is also known as acceleration which is the rate of change in velocity.

∙ 14y agoIts still acceleration. In 4th grade my science teacher told me that acceleration can be going, stopping, and turning.
Correct, slowing is negative acceleration, turning is vectored acceleration

What is the effect on accelerationif we decreasing velocity?
If you are decreasing velocity, you are undergoing negative acceleration.
If displacement is decreasing then velocity is?
Negative
When do you say that an object has an accelerated motion?
if its velocity is increasing or decreasing
How can you tell if an object is decelerating?
If the velocity is decreasing, the object is decelerating.
What is the meaning of the rate of change of velocity?
The rate of change of velocity, either increasing or decreasing, is its acceleration or deceleration.
What is the effect on accelerationif we decreasing velocity?
If you are decreasing velocity, you are undergoing negative acceleration.
What are ways to decrease kinetic energy?
Decreasing the mass or Decreasing the velocity
If displacement is decreasing then velocity is?
Negative
What are two common terms for decreasing velocity?
deacceleration
When do you say that an object has an accelerated motion?
if its velocity is increasing or decreasing
How can you tell if an object is decelerating?
If the velocity is decreasing, the object is decelerating.
What is the meaning of the rate of change of velocity?
The rate of change of velocity, either increasing or decreasing, is its acceleration or deceleration.
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?
increasing speed
When acceleration increase does velocity increase?
No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.
What is called negative accelarration?
Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.
Why does velocity represents rate of change of displacement?
Because that is the definition of velocity
