Best Answer

A force on a material object.

The change in velocity per second is (the force) divided by (the object's mass).

This is usually described by the term "acceleration" - which is really the rate of change of velocity (how quickly velocity changes); in symbols: a = dv/dt.

How does velocity work with roller coasters?

Velocity is what makes an object change position over time.


What makes velocity different from acceleration?

Acceleration is the change of speed upward. Velocity is any speed, in a fixed direction. So the diference, is that in speed; the direction can change, but the speed remain constant. Only if it moves faster or slower dose the speed change. So in velocity, if the speed, or the direction change, then the velocity changes.


How is motion similar to acceleration?

If we replace "motion" with a similar term called "velocity", both are rates of change:* Velocity is the rate of change of position (the derivative of the position, with respect to time). * Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity (that makes it the second derivative of the position, with respect to time).


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".


Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?

It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.


What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?

A change in velocity constitutes a change in direction because velocity includes direction.


What is force in physical science?

force is something that makes objects change velocity.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


What is a change in velocity in given period of time?

Change in velocity = Velocity at the end of the period minus velocity at the start of the period.


Is Velocity any change in motion?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity is a change in speed and or direction. I am not sure what motion means in a technical sense (velocity?).


How does a change in speed change velocity?

due to acceleration the speed and velocity will change automatically


Can acceleration and velocity be the same?

No. Velocity is the change of location and accelarion is any change that occurs to the velocity of an object.
