No.

When an object accelerates its velocity is changing.

As velocity is defined as speed with direction, its velocity changes if

either the speed or the direction of travel changes.

As its velocity is changing it is technically accelerating (or possibly 'decelerating'

if you are an American)

What object accelerates and changes speed?

An object accelerates when there is a net force acting on it, causing it to change speed. The acceleration can be in the form of speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.


If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?

If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving, its speed will increase. This is because the acceleration is adding to the object's existing velocity in the same direction, causing it to move faster over time.


If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?

The speed of the object will increase.


Describe a situation in which an object accelerates without changing speed?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so velocity must always be changing if the object is accelerating. HOWEVER, you said speed which means only magnitude, not direction. If you stay the same speed, but change direction then you are accelerating. Simple answer: when you are going the same speed in a circle - velocity changes, therefore acceleration changes.


How does acceleration involve a chnage in direction and speed?

Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (change in speed) and direction. When an object accelerates, it can be due to a change in speed, direction, or both. For example, when a car speeds up, slows down, or turns, it is experiencing acceleration because its velocity (speed and/or direction) is changing.

When an object accelerate what can it do?

When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.

When a object accelerates in the same direction as its motion it has?

When an object accelerates in the same direction as its motion, it is experiencing positive acceleration. This means its speed is increasing over time.


What happen when you apply a force on an object in space?

It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.

In terms of speed and direction in which ways can an object accelerate?

Gravity will make any flying object accelerate toward the ground. A force behind a projectile makes it accelerate until the force is removed. When I throw a rock it accelerates until it leaves my hand. A bullet accelerates when the explosion behind it expands the gas.

The moon accelerates because it is always changing direction. :)
