The earth never reverses direction, nor does any other planet.

The APPARENT reversal of direction of some other planets, as seen from earth, is called retrograde motion.

When an object turn's around or reverses direction in its motion what happens?

When an object changes direction in its motion, its velocity changes, and if the object is accelerating, its acceleration will also change direction. This change in direction is due to the application of a force in the opposite direction. The object's kinetic energy may also change as a result of this change in direction.


How do we determine the direction of the impulse vector?

The direction of the impulse vector is determined by the direction in which the force is applied to an object. It is always along the line of action of the force. The impulse vector points in the same direction as the force on the object and causes a change in the object's momentum in that direction.


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".


What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?

Any change in the speed or direction of a moving object is called acceleration. It can be caused by applying a force in the direction of motion (speeding up), opposite to the direction of motion (slowing down), or perpendicular to the direction of motion (changing direction).


What includes the speed of the objects and the direction of its motion?

Speed and direction is called velocity.


What includes the speed of the object and the direction of its motion?

Speed and direction is called velocity.


When is displacement at its maximum and velocity equal to zero?

Displacement is at its maximum when an object changes direction, reaching the farthest point from its starting position. Velocity is equal to zero at the moment when an object changes direction, either at the peak of motion in a vertical direction or at the points where an object reverses its direction horizontally.
