Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
Acceleration is the term that describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction of an object.
What describes acceleraton involving only a change in diraction?
Acceleration involving only a change in direction is known as centripetal acceleration. It occurs when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, and the centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle to keep the object from moving in a straight line.
Does velocity describe both speed and acceleration?
No. Velocity describes a speed and a direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: dv/dt); in other words, how fast does the velocity change.
Which example describes constant acceleration due only to a change in direction?
In physics, acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of the rate (or speed) and direction of an object. Therefore, an object is "accelerating" when it changes direction while maintaining the same rate (or speed).
How are velocity and acceleration different?
Velocity is the rate of change of position of an object with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. Velocity describes how fast an object is moving and in which direction, while acceleration describes how quickly the velocity of an object is changing, either in speed or direction.

What describes the motion of an object where there is no change in speed or direction?
Equilibrium describes any state where the acceleration and net force are zero. This means that the velocity will not change.

No. Velocity describes a speed and a direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: dv/dt); in other words, how fast does the velocity change.

What quantity describes how quickly you change your speed?
acctually, you are describing two very similar quantities. th quantity that describes how quickly you change your speed, or how fast you are going is your acceleration, measured in distance per unit of time squared. the quantity that describes how quickly you change your direction is called velocity and it is identical to speed except in the fact that velocityshows how fast you go in a certain direction, or how quickly you change your direction
Is the moon's acceleration expressed as a change in speed or a change in direction?
The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.
Does the change of a direction affect acceleration?
Yes, changing the direction of an object's motion affects its acceleration. Acceleration is a vector quantity, so a change in direction will result in a change in acceleration even if the speed remains constant.
How is acceleration related to the change in speed?
A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
Can there be acceleration in the body even when the body is not speeding up or slowing down?
Yes. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction. If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.
What is to change direction?
acceleration in a direction that is not parallel to the direction you are moving
