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).

What kind of acceleration travels at a constant speed in a circular motion?

In circular motion, the centripetal acceleration points towards the center of the circle and is responsible for maintaining the object's direction. This acceleration does not change the object's speed, but instead changes its direction, keeping it in circular motion.


What kind of force causes an object to change its motion?

An unbalanced force acting on an object causes it to change its motion. This force can come from interactions like pushing, pulling, gravity, or friction. The change in motion can be a change in speed, direction, or both.


What kind of motion occurs when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?

When velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction, the object is either speeding up while moving in the opposite direction of its motion (deceleration) or slowing down while moving in the direction of its motion. This results in changes in speed and direction of the object's motion.


What kind of motion do unbalanced forces make?

Unbalanced forces result in an object's acceleration, causing it to change its speed or direction of motion. The object will continue to move in the direction of the stronger force until a balanced condition is achieved.


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 motion mean?

Motion refers to the act of changing position or location. It involves the movement of an object from one place to another. In physics, motion is described in terms of speed, velocity, acceleration, and direction.


What is describing motion using words instead of numbers is called what kind of kinematics?

Describing motion using words instead of numbers is called qualitative kinematics. This approach focuses on the characteristics of motion such as speed, direction, and changes in motion without quantifying them numerically.


What is when an object is in motion?

When an object is in motion, it is continuously changing its position over time relative to a reference point. This movement can be described in terms of its speed, direction, and acceleration. Objects in motion can have various types of motion such as linear, circular, or periodic motion.


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.


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.
