How can acceleration affect velocity?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If an object experiences acceleration in the same direction as its velocity, its speed will increase. If acceleration is in the opposite direction of velocity, the object will slow down. Changes in acceleration can also affect the direction of velocity, causing the object to change direction.
Does change in direction cause acceleration?
Yes, a change in direction does result in acceleration, specifically in the form of centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is directed towards the center of the circular path and is essential for an object to maintain its curved trajectory.
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.
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.
Can the direction of the body change when the acceleration is constant?
Yes, the direction of the body can change even when the acceleration is constant. This is because acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction. As long as there is a change in velocity, the body's direction can be altered, even if the magnitude of acceleration remains constant.

Is the moon's acceleration expressed as a change in speed or a change in direction?
The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.
How is acceleration related to the change in speed?
A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
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.
What is to change direction?
acceleration in a direction that is not parallel to the direction you are moving
What are acceleration examples?
Examples of acceleration are change in speed, change in direction, or both.
How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?
It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.
Can the direction of the body change when the acceleration is constant?
Yes, the direction of the body can change even when the acceleration is constant. This is because acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction. As long as there is a change in velocity, the body's direction can be altered, even if the magnitude of acceleration remains constant.
Can direction of velocity of a body change when its acceleration is constant?
Yes, the direction of velocity of a body can change even when its acceleration is constant. This can happen if the acceleration and initial velocity of the body are not aligned in the same direction. The body will still experience a change in velocity due to the constant acceleration, which can lead to a change in direction.
Is acceleration due to change in direction?
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, and is a result of a force being applied on the object in question. Acceleration will not always result in an object changing direction, but it is capable of it (in the case of centripetal acceleration, all it does is change the direction.) Acceleration is a vector, therefore a direction must always be given when a value is stated.
