What three ways can you change velocity?

Velocity can be changed by changing speed (magnitude of velocity), direction, or both speed and direction simultaneously. This can be achieved by applying a force in the desired direction, changing the mass of the object, or altering external conditions like friction or air resistance.


How can velocity be changed?

Velocity can be changed by applying a force in the direction of motion. An increase in force will result in an increase in velocity, while a decrease in force will cause velocity to decrease. Another way to change velocity is by changing the direction of motion, which can be achieved by applying a force perpendicular to the current motion.


What quantity has changed velocity or speed for a car that travels north at 88 kmh and then turns east while continuing to move at 88 kmh?

The speed of the car has not changed. What has changed is the direction of travel. Velocity is a combination of speed and direction, so has changed. Newton's laws say that a body will continue to travel at its starting velocity unless acted on by an external force. There are two forces working here. 1 a force reducing the northward speed of 88 km/h to zero, and 2 a force accelerating the car eastward up to 88 km/h.


What are two ways that an object can accelerate?

An object can accelerate by speeding up (increasing velocity) or by changing direction (experiencing a change in acceleration).


What are two of the ways that the velocity of a car can change?

The velocity of a car can change by increasing its speed, such as accelerating when pressing the gas pedal, or by decreasing its speed, such as decelerating when applying the brakes.

How does newtons second law apply of changing the direction of an object?

Newton's Second law involves acceleration which is changing the velocity. Velocity can be changed in two ways, direction or speed, so Newton's Law applies to both.

Why there's a change velocity if you are changing direction?

Because that's the definition of 'velocity'.'Velocity' is not just a word you use instead of 'speed' when you want to sound smart.It's meaning is different from the meaning of 'speed'.'Velocity' has two parts to it . . . speed and direction. If either of those changes, thenthe velocity has changed.
