These two cases are represented by "positive" acceleration. The opposite cases (slowing down in the positive direction or speeding up in the negative direction) are represented by "negative" acceleration.

When does an object undergoes acceleration?

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object over time. Take note that velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has magnitude and direction...Thus...An object undergoes acceleration when:1. there is a change in the magnitude of the velocity (speed) of an object.2. there is a change in direction of an object.3. it changes both in direction and magnitude.


How does acceleration relate to changes in motion?

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. When an object accelerates, its motion changes either in speed, direction, or both. A positive acceleration indicates an increase in speed, while negative acceleration (deceleration) indicates a decrease in speed.


Why acceleration produces at constant speed?

Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.


What is the acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur. Acceleration can be in the same direction as the velocity (speeding up) or in the opposite direction (slowing down).


What is Motion without acceleration?

Motion without acceleration is when an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. In this scenario, the object's velocity remains constant and there is no change in its speed or direction.

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.


How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?

The direction of acceleration affects the direction of motion by causing a change in velocity. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the speed of the object increases. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the speed decreases, and if the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity, the object changes direction without changing speed.


What is a change in an object's motion called?

A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".


In what three ways can accelerationchange an object's motion?

Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or direction of an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.


In what ways can a change in velocity Be an acceleration?

A change in velocity can be an acceleration when the speed or direction of an object changes. If an object speeds up, slows down, or changes its direction, then it is experiencing acceleration. Acceleration is a vector quantity that includes changes in both speed and direction.


A change in speed or direction?

A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.


Acceleration can be a change in speed or?

Acceleration can be a change in speed or direction. It measures how quickly the speed of an object is changing over time. It is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.


What is a change in speed and direction called?

If an object is in motion, we apply the term speed to the distance (displacement) it achieves for a given unit of time. If we take speed and add a direction vector, as is asked here, we are talking about the velocity of the object.


How is speed and acceleration related?

Speed is a scalar quantity that represents the rate at which an object is moving, while acceleration is a vector quantity that represents the rate of change of an object's velocity. Acceleration can affect the speed of an object by either increasing or decreasing it, depending on whether the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion or in the opposite direction. In general, the greater the acceleration, the faster an object's speed will change.


How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?

It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

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).


Can there be acceleration in the body even when the body is not speeding up or slowing down?

Yes. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction. If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.
