What is the term for motion in which the velocity of the moving object does not change?

uniform motion


What is motion in which the velocity of the moving object does change?

That's called "accelerated motion".


What is tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called?

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The term inertia is also used to describe the resistance of an object to any change in its motion. If an object is not moving, it doesn't want to move. If it is moving, it doesn't want to change is speed or the direction it is moving. This is covered by Newton in his laws of motion.


A force can affect the of an object?

A force can affect the motion of an object by changing its speed, direction, or shape. It can cause the object to start moving, stop moving, or change its current state of motion.


What do we call the tendency of a object to stay at rest or to stay in motion?

We use the term inertia to describe the resistance of an object to any change in its motion. If an object is not moving, it doesn't want to move. If it is moving, it doesn't want to change is speed or the direction it is moving. This is covered by Newton in his laws of motion.


Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


When an object's distance from another object is changing is what?

When an object's distance from another object is changing, it is in motion. The change in distance indicates that the object is moving relative to the other object.


What does friction do to the object's motion?

The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.


What can a force change?

A force can change the speed, direction, or shape of an object. It can also cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change its motion in some other way.


When is an object in motion?

When its position changes with respect to a point of reference.


What force can change a moving object?

A force such as friction, gravity, or a push/pull from another object can change the motion of a moving object by slowing it down, speeding it up, or changing its direction.
