Well, it is a quite simple assesment. When an object speeds up or slows down...I know you may be asking, "How does an object accelerate when it slows down?" because the velocity is not constant and it is creating motion so the object is changing position. Weird, but true life science!! Believe me, it was my science home work... i was trying to ask the Q here but there were no answers so i found it on another site and BOOM here i am making a wikianswers!!

∙ 12y agoIf its speed or direction of motion change, then the object is accelerated.
(Note: "Accelerate" does not mean "speed up".)

∙ 11y agoAn mass object undergoes acceleration when there is a force applied to the mass.
The acceleration is proportional to the force and inverse to the mass, a=F/mass.

How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?
an object can accelerate both up and down
Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.
If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?
Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what?
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
What are the requirements for an object to accelerate?
Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.
How are objects able to accelerate?
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?
an object can accelerate both up and down
What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?
an object can accelerate both up and down
If the net force on an object zero?
... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.
If the net force on an object is zero?
... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
