Yes - speed is rate of change of position irrespective of direction. What an object cannot do is change direction without changing velocity, which is speed in a particular direction, i.e. a vector rather than a scalar. In vector terms, speed is the modulus of the velocity vector.
An example would be a body in gravitational circular orbit around another body - constant speed, but continuously changing velocity due to the gravitational force.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How can I tell when two objects have the same velocity on a position graph?
When two objects have the same velocity on a position graph, their position vs. time graphs will have parallel lines with the same slope. This indicates that both objects are covering the same distance in the same amount of time, resulting in the same velocity.
What happens to an objects speed if it travels with zero acceleration?
If an object travels with zero acceleration, its speed remains constant. This means that the object maintains the same speed throughout its motion and does not change its velocity.
What is the rate change in velocity?
The rate of change in velocity is known as acceleration.
What will happen to your kinetic energy if you double its objects velocity?

Is velocity a change in an objects motion?
Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.
The change in an object velocity?
The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.
What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
A change in a objects velocity is called?
either resistance or inertia
What would you apply in order to change an objects velocity?
force
Forces that cause an objects velocity to change?
In all cases acceleration.
What is the term for motion in which the velocity of the moving objects does not change?
uniform motion
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
What resist change in velocity?
Objects with greater mass resist changes in velocity more than light objects. Additionally, objects with higher inertia or momentum also resist changes in velocity. Friction and air resistance can also act to resist changes in velocity.
Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?
That is called acceleration.
What needs to be applied in order to change an objects velocity?
To change an object's velocity, you need to apply a force to it. The force will cause the object to accelerate, thus changing its velocity. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine the extent and direction of the velocity change.
Is impulse delivered to an object equal to a change in the objects velocity?
Yes, impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object, which can be calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the change in velocity. So, impulse is related to the change in velocity of an object.
