A moving body can be accelerated by applying a force. This force will act to increase velocity, decrease velocity or change the direction the body is moving. All three of these are acceleration.

What three things must an object do to be accelerating?

An object must change its speed, change its direction, or both in order to be accelerating. Any of these changes will result in a non-zero acceleration.


Can a body constant speed still be accelerating with example?

No, a body moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed of the body remains constant, there is no acceleration. For example, a car moving at a steady 60 mph on a straight road is not accelerating.


Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?

No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.


When you change direction are you accelerating true or false?

True. Acceleration is any change in velocity, including a change in direction. So when you change direction, you are indeed accelerating.


How can you recognise body getting into acceleration?

a body is accelerating if it is speeding up faster and faster. Acceleration is the change in velocity. or the change in speed. Slowing down is also acceleration but it is negative acceleration or de acceleration.


How force is related to momentum of the body?

Force is directly related to the change in momentum of a body, as described by Newton's second law of motion. The force acting on an object causes a change in its momentum by accelerating or decelerating it. The greater the force applied, the greater the change in momentum experienced by the body.


Does an object that has balanced forces or no force acting on it must be stationary?

No. An object that has no net force on it will simply not be accelerating. It can be in motion, but it can not have any change in its velocity.


If an object is accelerating then the forces on it must be?

Friction force


A moving body must undergo a change in?

A moving body must undergo a change in its velocity to show acceleration. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction so any change in speed, direction, or both constitutes a change in velocity, resulting in acceleration.


Is a car moving around a curve without changing speed accelerating?

Yes. Even though its speed doesn't change, its velocity does change, therefore it is accelerating.


How do you change the clutch on a kids quad bike?

by accelerating


Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?

No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.
