Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?

No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.


If you speed is not changing but your direction is changing are you accelerating?

Yes; acceleration is any change in velocity - speed, or direction.


What are 3 ways that an object can change it velocity?

By changing its speed - increasing or decreasing. By changing its direction of motion. By a combination of changing speed and direction simultaneously.


How do you accelerate without changing speed?

To accelerate without changing speed, you can change direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes speed and direction. For example, a car moving at a constant speed on a curved path is constantly changing direction and therefore accelerating, even though its speed remains constant.


Acceleration can be a change in speed or?

Acceleration can be a change in speed or direction. It measures how quickly the speed of an object is changing over time. It is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.


Describe the to ways in which velocity can change?

Velocity can change by either changing the speed of an object or changing its direction of motion. If an object speeds up or slows down, its velocity will change. Similarly, if an object changes its direction, its velocity will also change.


Why achanging velocity cannot maintaining constant speed?

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is changing, it means either the speed, direction, or both are changing. Therefore, if the velocity is changing, the object cannot maintain a constant speed.


How can you accelerate if your speed does not change?

A change in the vector or direction that you are traveling is considered an acceleration; even if you don't change speed. This would be the case for going around in a merry-go-round, e.g. You are accelerating (changing direction), but the speed is constant (velocity is changing).


Why does a change of speed produce a change in direction?

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.)


When cars are changing direction they are also changing what?

When cars are changing direction, they are also changing their velocity vector, which includes speed and direction. This change in velocity requires acceleration, which can be in the form of turning left or right, slowing down, or speeding up.


Why acceleration produces at constant speed?

Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.


Is acceleration a change in the position of an object?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity. As velocity is a vector (direction and speed) changing either the speed or direction will change the velocity and thus be an acceleration (or decelleration)
