False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.

Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?

False. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly an object's velocity is changing, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. So, acceleration can occur even if the speed of an object remains constant but its direction changes.


True or false acceleration is the change of speed andor direction of an object?

True. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes, whether in speed, direction, or both. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or changing direction.


Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an objects motion true or false?

This is not true. Acceleration includes direction, but speed does not. Speed in a particular direction is called velocity.


Acceleration is the change in distance over time True or false?

False. Acceleration is a change of speed or direction over time.


True or false To calculate the acceleration of and automobile you must first subtract the final speed from the initial speed?

True


True or false acceleration is a change in motion?

'Acceleration' is a change in the speed and/or direction of motion.


True or false a negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating?

False. A negative slope on a velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is decelerating, not that it is not accelerating. Acceleration and deceleration are both forms of acceleration, but in opposite directions.


The inertia of an object is determined by its speed true or false?

False. The inertia of an object is determined by its mass, not its speed. Inertia is a property of matter that represents its resistance to changes in motion.


True or false if you know an objects mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object?

False. You will know nothing at all about any force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion.


When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced the net force is zero true or false?

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body.


True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?

false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction


Is it true or false that inertia is a form of energy?

False. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is not a form of energy; rather, it is related to an object's mass and its resistance to acceleration or deceleration.
