Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).

How do unbalanced forces affect an object's speed?
Newton's Laws of Motion tell us that the velocity of a body remains constant unless subject to a force. If there are more than one force acting, it will be the net force that causes any change in velocity. So in the case where the forces are balanced, nothing will change, but note you must be sure the forces are balanced in direction as well as magnitude. In fact what you have to do is evaluate the net force as a vector quantity. If the forces are in fact unbalanced this means there is a net force in a certain direction, and this will act on the body, in that direction. (Force = mass x acceleration)
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
In which direction should you apply a force if you want to do the greatest amount of work?
It depends on the kind of work you want done and whether you're using any simple machines. In case you aren't using any simple machines and you are applying force directly, it is best to apply force in the direction of motion desired.
Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
A chemical change produces a different kind of matter?
a chemical change proude a different kind of matter
What kind of motion occurs when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?
You are confusing terms.Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes speed.Velocity is a combination of speed and direction
Changing direction is an example of a kind of?
Acceleration
What is needed to change speed into a velocity?
You have a velocity when both a speed and a direction is specified. This kind of magnitude is known as a "vector" - that is, when it is relevant to state a direction, as well as a magnitude, we speak about "vectors".
What change in velocity?
Objects that do not speed up, slow down, or change it's direction unless they are pulled in some kind of way can change velocity.
What kind of acceleration travels at a constant speed in a circular motion?
What kin of acceleration travels at a consent speed in a circular motion
How could an object accelerate while still traveling at a constant speed?
Acceleration means the velocity changes. Velocity is made up of speed and a direction, so if only the direction changes, the velocity still changes, and therefore there is acceleration. The typical example is moving around in a circle.
What are the conditions for an object to stay at restto keep moving at constant velocity?
"Constant velocity" means neither the speed nor the direction of the object's motion is changing. "Rest" is just one kind of constant velocity ... the kind with zero speed. The condition for an object's velocity to remain constant is: Either there are no forces acting on the object, or else all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. If there is any NET force acting on the object, then its velocity will change ... it will either speed up, slow down, or curve in a new direction.
What kind of motion occurs at a transform plate boundary?
The motion created is, 1 plate moves in one direction, while the second plate moves in the opposite direction.
Is acceleration the fastest kind of speed?
No. An acceleration is not a speed. It is a rate of change of speed - that is, a change of speed, divided by the time it takes to change the speed.
What kind of motion is describing when the vehicle running at the speed of 50 kilometers per hour going to north?
The answer depends on the degree of complexity you want to put into it. At the simplest, it is linear motion at constant velocity due North. A more complicated version is that it is motion in a circular arc around the globe: heading at a constant speed towards the North pole. It is no longer a velocity because the direction is changing.
What causes change in velocity?
If an object's velocity changes -- if its speed increases or decreases or if its direction changes -- that means it has accelerated. For an object to accelerate, the sum of the forces acting upon it must be non-zero. So, in other words, forcechanges an object's velocity.
What kind of speed does a moving object have when the velocity stays the same?
same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...
