What always causes a change in motion what different kinds of change are there?

Force causes a change in motion (although in some circumstances, you may not be able to observe the change). The types of change are: motion can speed up, it can slow down, or it can change direction.


What 3 kinds of change motion are called acceleration?

1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion


What 3 kinds of change in motion are called acceleration?

The three kinds of change in motion that are called acceleration are speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time.


What kinds of motion does acceleration refer too?

Acceleration refers to a change in velocity. More precisely, the rate of change of velocity, in symbols, dv/dt.


What kinds of motion give atoms their kinetic energy?

If there is no extrnal source of energy, then in atom there is random motion ; no specific direction.


What are the kinds of inertia?

There are actually 3 kinds of inertia. They are as follows : 1. Inertia of Rest 2. Inertia of Motion 3. Inertia of Direction But nowadays people consider that there are 2 kinds of inertia , inertia of rest and inertia of motion.

Normal force can act on an object


What is the 3 kinds of motion?

there are 5 kinds of motion. they are 1.translatory motion 2.rotatory motion 3.transla- rotatory motion 4.periodic motion 5.vibratory motion


What are three kinds of change in motion?

I'm going to assume that Newton's Three Law's of Motion are Applicable here. The first law states that every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force.The second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and acts in the same direction.The third law states that for every applied force, or action, there is an equal force, or reaction, which acts in the opposite direction.


What are the three basic kinds of motion?
