Light which bounces off the surface of an object is called?
When light changes direction as it passes through a boundary.
What is the decrease in speed?
When speed changes, the rate a which you are going (ex: 22 miles per hour) changes. Direction changes when the direction(ex: north, south, east, west) changes. Any change in speed or direction of motion is known as 'acceleration'.
What is the downward pull of a object due to gravity?
The strength of the force in each direction between the earth and any mass is called the "weight" of the mass. The force is equal in both directions, which means that the weight of the mass on earth is the same as the earth's weight on the mass. The force acts along the line between the center of the earth and the center of the mass. The direction toward the center of the earth is customarily referred to as the 'down' direction, and toward the center of the mass as the 'up' direction.
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
When light enters glass from air it changes direction. What is the change of direction called?
If the light is entering from air or a vacuum, the light will slow down. The affect of this, if the light hits the glass at an angle, is that the direction of the light will change.
What is the acceleration of a falling object?
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
How an object changes direction when a force is applied to it is called what?
The combined changes in an object's speed and direction when force acts on it is called "acceleration".
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

The rate at which a current changes direction is called its?
Ampere

When a wave changes direction as it speeds up or slows down its called what?
That is called refraction.
The point at which the curve changes direction is called the?
inflection point
What is a bend in a river or stream where the water changes direction called?
a meander
What is it called when the speed and direction of light changes as it passes through different media?
its called refraction
In scientific notation is a scalar called a vector?
Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)
