What is the rate of change of an object's position over a period of time without information about the direction in which the object is traveling?
That's the object's 'speed'.
What is the physics definition of velocity?
In physics, velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object.
What kind of motion occurs when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?
You are confusing terms.Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes speed.Velocity is a combination of speed and direction
What changes speed and direction?
Velocity is defined as a vector quantity representing both speed and direction. Acceleration is defined as the rate at which velocity changes. The acceleration of an object changes when it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Compare and contrast acceleration and velocity?
-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.
What are acceleration and velocity?
'Velocity' means the rate at which position changes, and the direction in which it changes. 'Acceleration' means the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction in which it changes.
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
What changes as an object moves with a constant acceleration?
During constant acceleration, either the object's speed changes at a constant rate, or the direction of its motion changes at a constant rate, or both.

Which term defined as the change in an object positions over time without including direction?
The rate of change of an object's position over time is the object's speed.

What changes occur in position direction and speed of an object when it is acted on by an unbalanced force?
the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the net disbalanced force and occurs in the direction in which the force acts - (newton's 2nd law) basically, it accelerates in the direction of the net force acting on the body.
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
What is the meaning of velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the rate at which an object changes its position. It includes both the speed of the object and the direction in which it is moving. Mathematically, velocity is the derivative of an object's position with respect to time.
