"variable" velocity means that the velocity is changing right? it's not constant?

Question

asnaseer · Answer

correct :)

lgbasallote · Answer

yay thanks!! so variable velocity cant have zero acceleration right??

asnaseer · Answer

correct - you need acceleration (or deceleration) in order to change velocity

asnaseer · Answer

another way to look at it is that you need some force applied to an object in order to change its velocity, and:

F = ma

lgbasallote · Answer

yes! thanks :) now i have a chance to pass that physics test lol

asnaseer · Answer

therefore you need acceleration

lgbasallote · Answer

lol i dont know those concepts yet :p well i do..but im vague with it

asnaseer · Answer

np - you'll soon learn these too :)

lgbasallote · Answer

all in good time :) our lesson in physics is already laws of motion :D so expect some of those questions soon lol
