if the time needed for the object to cross the same distance decreases by time.
For example:
1st second of motion, the object crosses exactly 1.0 meters of space.
2nd second of motion, the object crosses 3.0 meters of space.
Since the object has crossed more space (3.0m) in the 2nd second, than it did in the
first second(1.0m), we can conclude that the object is moving in an accelerated
motion.
=====================================

That answer is correct as far as it goes, but it's very important to be aware that
the discussion above only touches on one of several aspects of acceleration.
Somewhere in the past 100 years, somebody decided to name the skinny pedal
on the floor of the car the "accelerator". And ever since that day, everybody
thinks that "acceleration" means "speeding up". It doesn't.
"Acceleration" means: Changing speed (faster OR slower) OR changing direction.
The first answer said: "The time needed to cross the same distance decreases."
That's true. That's acceleration. That's what happens when you stomp the gas ...
you go faster. But that's not the only possible description of acceleration.
When you stomp the brake, you go slower. "The time needed to cross the same
distance increases." According to the strict definition, that's also 'acceleration'.
And what if you're driving along on cruise-control, your speed isn't changing at all,
but you're going around a gentle curve. Hold onto your seat belt, because that's
'acceleration' too. Acceleration doesn't always change your speed. If your direction
is changing, that's 'acceleration' too.
What else can I help you with?
When do you say that an object has an accelerated motion?
An object is said to have accelerated motion when its velocity is changing over time. This change in velocity could be due to an increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction. It is not just moving at a constant speed.
Would it be correct to say that inertia causes moving object to continue moving?
Yes, it is correct to say that inertia causes a moving object to continue moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it will continue moving unless acted upon by an external force.
How do equations of motion change for an object moving in uniform motion?
The "equations of motion" are statements that describe motion. They would not be of much use if the very thing they're used to describe caused them to change. I'll say they don't.
When we can say that the object is in motion?
An object is considered to be in motion when its position changes with respect to a reference point over a period of time. The object's motion can be described in terms of its speed, direction, and acceleration.
An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
How canyou say that an object is moving in an accelerated motion?
You would say that the object in motion is accelerating. Or you can say that the object's velocity is increasing.

When can we say that can is in motion?
It means that the object is moving.

Yes, it is correct to say that inertia causes a moving object to continue moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it will continue moving unless acted upon by an external force.
When do we say an object is in motion?
That is equivalent to saying that: * The object is moving, or * The object doesn't stay all the time in the same place.

Is an object as 0 net force acting on it then was could you say about its motion?
You could say that its motion is uniform, meaning that its speed is constant,and that it's moving in a straight line.
An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
What is the another word for moving?
Some other words for still or unmoving:immobilemotionlessstationary
What can you say about the motion of an object if it's speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
That the object is moving at a constant velocity
