Any change in velocity, whether to speed up, slow down, or just change direction, results from acceleration. Acceleration is an expression of the rate of change of velocity.

When the direction of an object changes what happens to it's velocity?

When the direction of an object changes, its velocity changes as well. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so any change in direction will impact the velocity of the object.


Describe the to ways in which velocity can change?

Velocity can change by either changing the speed of an object or changing its direction of motion. If an object speeds up or slows down, its velocity will change. Similarly, if an object changes its direction, its velocity will also change.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".


A change in a moving object's direction always results in a change in its?

velocity. When an object changes direction, its velocity vector changes, even if the object's speed remains constant. This change in velocity can be caused by forces such as gravity or friction acting on the object.


Why is velocity changing?

Velocity can change due to a change in speed or direction of an object. It can also change if there is a force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate or decelerate. In simpler terms, velocity changes when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.


Velocity can change causing?

Velocity change can result in changes in an object's speed and/or direction of motion. This change in velocity can be caused by forces such as acceleration, deceleration, or changes in direction, which can affect the object's kinetic energy and momentum.


How can acceleration affect velocity?

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If an object experiences acceleration in the same direction as its velocity, its speed will increase. If acceleration is in the opposite direction of velocity, the object will slow down. Changes in acceleration can also affect the direction of velocity, causing the object to change direction.


What happens when velocity changes?

When velocity changes, the speed and/or direction of an object's motion is altered. This can result in acceleration or deceleration, depending on the direction of the change in velocity. If the velocity increases, the object is accelerating; if the velocity decreases, the object is decelerating.


What is the difference between acceleration and velocity?

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position, while acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. In other words, velocity is the speed and direction of motion, whereas acceleration is the change in speed or direction of 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.


Why is an object traveling in a circular motion?

acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.


Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?

FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.
