What happens to a velocity when the acceleration changes?

If the acceleration changes, the velocity of an object will also change. If the acceleration increases, the velocity will increase. If the acceleration decreases, the velocity will decrease. The velocity and acceleration of an object are directly related.


What happens to the acceleration and velocity when an object in free fall moves downward?

In free fall, the acceleration of the object remains constant at 9.8 m/s^2 directed downward towards the center of the Earth. The object's velocity will increase as it falls due to the constant acceleration, until it reaches terminal velocity if air resistance is present.


Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?

Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.


When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?

your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.


What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?

When centripetal acceleration occurs, it causes an object to move in a circular path by continuously changing the direction of its velocity. This acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circle and is necessary to balance the outward centrifugal force, keeping the object in its circular motion.

What happens to the velocity if acceleration is zero?

The velocity stays the same, it is constant

If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?

The velocity increases at a constant rate.


What happens to an object when it undergoes acceleration is it the speed or velocity that increases?

When an object undergoes acceleration, it is the velocity that increases. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so an object experiencing acceleration will have its velocity change over time, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.


What happens to an object's velocity when it accelerates?

"Acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.


What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the speed at which the body is moving?

The velocity changes. called acceleration.


If the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the velocity what happens to the velocity of the object?

a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is net force, and m is mass in kilograms.

When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?

When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)


What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?

When centripetal acceleration occurs, it causes an object to move in a circular path by continuously changing the direction of its velocity. This acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circle and is necessary to balance the outward centrifugal force, keeping the object in its circular motion.
