That means that either its speed, or its direction, or both, are changing.

Which object is accelerating?

An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.


Can an accelerating object have zero speed?

No, an accelerating object cannot have zero speed. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes over time. If an object is accelerating, its speed is increasing or decreasing, but it cannot be zero.


When is an object not accelerating?

An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).


If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is what?

If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.


If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?

Accelerating...or was accelerating.


How do you know an object is accelerating?

You can tell an object is accelerating if its velocity is changing, either in speed or direction. This can be observed by noticing a change in the object's position over time.


What happens to the velocity of an accelerating object?

The velocity of an accelerating object increases over time as long as the acceleration is maintained.


What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?

An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.


When an object is accelerating are the forces balanced or unbalanced?

When an object is accelerating, the forces acting on it are unbalanced. This means that there is a net force acting on the object in the direction of its acceleration, causing a change in its velocity.


An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?

An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.


Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?

No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.


What is the indication that a moving object is accelerating?

moving
