Gravity will make any flying object accelerate toward the ground.
A force behind a projectile makes it accelerate until the force is removed.
When I throw a rock it accelerates until it leaves my hand. A bullet accelerates when the explosion behind it expands the gas.
The acceleration is zero horizontally, and 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 downward.
The velocity, including speed and direction, are going to depend on the initial angle of the gun
at the moment of launch.
An object can accelerate to any direction (yes, even backwards) and at the terminal velocity of that object. (Basically the top speed without breaking, combusting, etc.)
in the direction the sum of the forces on the object is acting in.
An object is accelerating if there is a change in speed and/or which term?
Vertically downward
Toward the center of mass
an object can accelerate both up and down
There is no such measurement. The speed (velocity) of an object is what's called a "scalar" unit. That means that it has this value regardless of what it might be pointed at. In physics, direction is described in terms of "vector". That's the arrow pointing to where the speeding object is headed.
Two of the terms are speed and direction.
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
this is how motion is described in terms of speed: the object moving from one point to another.
in terms of speed and direction , in what ways can an object accelerate
an object can accelerate both up and down
an object can accelerate both up and down
Let's review some terms before we tackle this one. Speed is displacement per unit of time. We know 60 miles per hour is a speed. Velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. We know 60 miles per hour east is velocity. Acceleration is a change in velocity. That means if an object changes its speed or its direction or both, it is accelerating.If an object has a given velocity and it slows down or speeds up, it is accelerated. But if the same object changes direction without a change in speed, it is still experiencing acceleration. A force had to act on the object to change its direction, even though its speed didn't change. Thus, an object can accelerate even though it does not change speed.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over a given time period. Velocity is a vector quantity: it includes speed and direction. That being said, you can accelerate an object without changing its speed by simply changing its direction. A body moving along the circumference of a circle its speed may remain a constant, but its velocity will not be a constant since its direction of motion continuously changes, since the velocity changes it has an acceleration.
Two of the terms are speed and direction.
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
Speed is a scalar quantity and thus a general term; if a car is traveling at 60 mph that is its speed;Velocity is a vector quantity that has speed and direction associated with it. If a car is traveling at 60 mph due east that is its velocity.The two terms are often used interchangeably.
this is how motion is described in terms of speed: the object moving from one point to another.
Speed and velocity are similar in terms of the rate at which an object is moving, commonly expressed in terms such as miles per hour (mph) or feet per second (fps). Velocity differs from speed because velocity also deals with direction, specifically with respect to a point of origin.
