The magnitude of the velocity will increase. The velocity will be downward - and since it increases, the acceleration will be downward. The acceleration doesn't change (it will remain constant at about 9.8 m/sec2), unless air resistance becomes significant.

Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.


Is acceleration a term for a change in velocity?

Yes, acceleration is the term used to describe the rate at which an object's velocity is changing. It can refer to an increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


How would you describe the values for acceleration?

positive or negative change of velocity or change of direction of the speed vector


Is Acceleration is a rate that can describe how speed or direction is changing?

Acceleration is a change in velocity. Velocity is defined as the speed of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity. Thus acceleration could be a rate of change of speed, velocity or both. In addition, acceration can be negative. In physics terms, there is no such thing as "Deceleration". Any change is considered to be acceleration.


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


What is the equation for change in acceleration?

accelaration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Therefore the formula for acceleration is a =(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) divide by the (change in time)


Is velocity the same as acceleration?

No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity.


Does acceleration change when time changes?

Acceleration can change as time changes if there is a change in the velocity of the object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so any change in velocity will result in a change in acceleration.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?

An object traveling at constant velocity cannot have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of an object is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


What is the quantitative to describe motion?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration are common quantitative measures used to describe motion. Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, velocity specifies both speed and direction, and acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity.


Does velocity differ from acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
