Is velocity a change in an objects motion?

Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.


The change in an object velocity?

The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.


What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?

A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.


A change in a objects velocity is called?

either resistance or inertia


What would you apply in order to change an objects velocity?

force


How do you calculate an objects acceleration?

Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)


Forces that cause an objects velocity to change?

In all cases acceleration.


What is the term for motion in which the velocity of the moving objects does not change?

uniform motion


What resist change in velocity?

Objects with greater mass resist changes in velocity more than light objects. Additionally, objects with higher inertia or momentum also resist changes in velocity. Friction and air resistance can also act to resist changes in velocity.


What needs to be applied in order to change an objects velocity?

To change an object's velocity, you need to apply a force to it. The force will cause the object to accelerate, thus changing its velocity. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine the extent and direction of the velocity change.


Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?

That is called acceleration.


Is impulse delivered to an object equal to a change in the objects velocity?

Yes, impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object, which can be calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the change in velocity. So, impulse is related to the change in velocity of an object.
