the speed of motion is determined by how fast the object in motion is traveling along with the distance it has traveled. the direction of motion can be discovered by either using a frame of reference (point of comparison) or simple devices such as a compass.

What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?

Motion can be classified into four types based on changes in direction and speed: Rectilinear motion: Motion along a straight line with constant speed. Uniform circular motion: Motion in a circular path at a constant speed. Accelerated motion: Motion with a change in speed but moving in a straight line. Curvilinear motion: Motion with changes in both speed and direction, following a curved path.


Does direction affect uniform motion?

No, direction does not affect uniform motion. Uniform motion is characterized by constant speed and direction, so as long as the speed remains constant, changing direction will not impact the uniform motion.


What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.


What includes the speed of the objects and the direction of its motion?

Speed and direction is called velocity.


What includes the speed of the object and the direction of its motion?

Speed and direction is called velocity.


What is the definition of speed of an object and specification of its direction of motion?

If the speed of an object is cited and its direction of motion is also cited, we have the velocity of the object. Velocity is speed plus a direction vector.


What does velocity take into account that speed does not?

Velocity takes into account the direction of motion in addition to the speed. Speed only gives the rate at which an object is moving, while velocity gives the rate and direction of the motion.


What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases


What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases


What term can describe both the speed and direction of an object's motion?

Velocity is the term that describes both the speed and direction of an object's motion. It is a vector quantity that includes magnitude (speed) and direction.


What is a change in an object's motion called?

A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
