The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.

What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases


What is the main difference between speed and velocity involves?

Velocity includes the information on what direction the speed is pointing. 60 mph north and 50 mph north are different velocities. 60 mph north and 60 mph west are also different velocities. Speed doesn't care what direction it's going. 60 mph north and 60 mph west are the same speed. 60 mph 50 mph are different speeds.


A force can cause an object to change its speed and or direction?

A force can cause an object to change its speed or direction. A force causes acceleration, as given by Newton's equation F=ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Acceleration occurs when something either changes direction, like a tether ball is accelerating when it goes around the pole, or when the objects speeds up or slows down.Forces give energy to the object it is acting on.The more mass an object has, the harder it is to move, stop, or change the speed or direction of the object.An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it.An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it.unbalanced


The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?

the object's 'velocity'


How can a force affect moving object?

because the force pulls up the moving object and it stops When a force is applied to a body, the body gets acceleration or retardation. so the moving object may move faster or may stop. when there is no force, the moving object will move with a constant velocity.

How are velocity and acceleration different?

acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.


When do you not feel the speed of any object?

When you are moving with the same speed as the object and in the same direction.
