Question

the acceleration which can change only the direction of velocity of a body is called​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any change in the velocity of an object results in an acceleration: increasing speed (what people usually mean when they say acceleration), decreasing speed (also called deceleration or retardation ), or changing direction (called centripetal acceleration ).

Answer 2

The acceleration which can change only the direction of velocity of a body is called​ acceleration due to gravity

• The rate of change of velocity (speed) of a particle with respect to time is called acceleration in mechanics.
• Acceleration, that is acquired by a body due to the earth's gravitational force, and the centrifugal force is called acceleration due to gravity.
• Acceleration due to gravity is a vector quantity since it has both direction as well as magnitude.
