Curved lines
The direction of an object moving in a straight line can change due to the application of a force in a different direction, such as friction or a second object interacting with it. Additionally, external factors like gravitational pull or air resistance can also influence the direction of the object.
The direction of the impulse vector is determined by the direction in which the force is applied to an object. It is always along the line of action of the force. The impulse vector points in the same direction as the force on the object and causes a change in the object's momentum in that direction.
Displacement is the same as direction traveled when an object moves in a straight line with no change in direction. In this case, the distance traveled by the object is equal to its displacement.
No, a laser beam travels in a straight line through air unless it reflects off a surface. The direction of a laser beam can be altered by using mirrors or prisms, but it does not change direction on its own in mid-air.
No, a wave does not refract when it enters a medium along the normal line. Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle, causing it to change speed and change direction. If the wave enters the medium along the normal line, it will continue in the same direction with no refraction.
a straight line
A voltage is applied to a signal line. The voltage of the line changes gradually from 0 to +V. The "edge speed" is the rate of change of voltage of the line. A voltage is applied to a signal line.

It doesn't. For example, you can go in a straight line, and speed up or slow down, without changing direction. And if there is both a change in direction and a change in speed, the change of speed wouldn't be the CAUSE for a change in direction. (On the other hand, both can be caused by a force applied to an object.)

No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
The gradient of a function, in a given direction, is the change in the value of the function per unit change in the given direction. It is, thus, the rate of change of the function, with respect to the direction. It is generally found by calculating the derivative of the function along the required direction. For a straight line, it is simply the slope. That is the "Rise" divided by the "Run".
Yes. A moving object travels in a straight line at constant speed until a net force acts on it. However, the direction will only change if the force is in a different direction then the motion.
The direction of the impulse vector is determined by the direction in which the force is applied to an object. It is always along the line of action of the force. The impulse vector points in the same direction as the force on the object and causes a change in the object's momentum in that direction.
The slope of a straight line is commonly described as rise over run. In other words, it's the ratio of the change in the y direction to the change in the x direction. Therefore, lines with greater slopes are closer to vertical. A vertical line has infinite slope, and the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Inertia - or the absence of any force making it change direction.
