Which characteristics of motion could change without changing the velocity of an object?

Some characteristics of motion that could change without changing the velocity of an object include acceleration, direction, and position. For example, an object moving in a circle at a constant speed has a changing acceleration (centripetal acceleration), changing direction, but constant velocity. Similarly, an object can change its position while maintaining a constant velocity if it moves along a straight path.


How does the change in angle changes the velocity?

Changing the angle of an object's motion will affect both the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity. For example, if you increase the angle of launch for a projectile, it will have a greater vertical component and a shorter horizontal component. This will result in a change in the overall velocity vector of the object.


Can you have velocity without acceleration?

Yes, a body can have aceleration without velocity. Consider sin x the position; cos x is the velocity and -sin x is the acceleration. Here the acceleration negative when x=90 degrees and the velocity is zero at 90 degrees.


If displacement is not changing as a function of time then what can we say about velocity?

If displacement is not changing as a function of time, then velocity is zero. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, so if there is no change in displacement, the velocity is zero.


How can velocity change without changing the speed?

Consider velocity as consisting of a speed, and a direction. If any of the two changes - that is, if either the speed or the direction changes - then the velocity changes.

Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?

No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.

Is it possible to change translational kinetic energy of an object without changing it rotational energy?

Yes, it is possible to change the translational kinetic energy of an object without changing its rotational energy. Translational kinetic energy depends on an object's linear velocity, while rotational energy depends on its angular velocity. By adjusting the linear velocity without changing the angular velocity, you can change the object's translational kinetic energy without affecting its rotational energy.

Why is acceleration zero with uniform velocity?

Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.

Is acceleration a change in the position of an object?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity. As velocity is a vector (direction and speed) changing either the speed or direction will change the velocity and thus be an acceleration (or decelleration)


Can the velocity of a body be constant still varying its speed?

Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.


Can a change in velocity always indicate a change in speed?

Velocity has direction as well as magnitude. Speed only has magnitude. So the velocity of something can change without its speed changing. This is what is happening when something is going in a circle.


Describe the to ways in which velocity can change?

Velocity can change by either changing the speed of an object or changing its direction of motion. If an object speeds up or slows down, its velocity will change. Similarly, if an object changes its direction, its velocity will also change.
