What are two ways of describing the direction of an object's motion?
Speed describes the rate of change of position, while velocity describes both the rate and the direction in which position changes.
What determines the direction of the particle's motion?
The acceleration of the body does not determine its direction of motion while velocity determines its direction of motion. Positive or negative sign of acceleration indicates if the velocity is increasing or decreasing whereas positive or negative sign of velocity indicates the direction of motion.
What are the five ways of describing the motion of an object?
Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed and frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with change in time.
