For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the w
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2

Explanation:

If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.

Work done = force × distance

And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.

The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.

W.D = 1/2mv^2

What will be the mass of a body at the center of the earth as compared to other places on
Eduardwww [97]
The mass of the object does not change by moving it to another place. ... At the center of the earth the net gravitational force is zero, so the weight will be zero, but its masses will remain same. Hence the mass at the centre of earth will be equl to 50 kg.
