In what different ways can velocity be changed?
(N/A) Velocity is a vector quantity,meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Therefore,velocity can be changed in the following ways:
$(1)$ By changing only the magnitude of velocity (speed).
$(2)$ By changing only the direction of velocity.
$(3)$ By changing both the magnitude and the direction of velocity.
Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity,any of these changes will result in the production of acceleration.
