Not necessarily. The object's velocity will change. That could be speed or direction.

A communications satellite in a circular orbit around the earth has a net gravitational force acting

on it. Its direction keeps changing ... to move in a circle ... but its speed doesn't change.

A net force causes an object to?

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.


When does the object of the forces does not move?

If no force is applied to an object, the object will not accelerate - its velocity won't change.


What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?

A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.


An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?

An object will accelerate in the direction of net force


Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?

Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.


How does Newtons first law relate to the equilibrium rule?

If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).


Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


What happens when the longer a force acts on moving object?

If a force is being applied to a moving object, it will change its velocity (it will accelerate) appropriately.


An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


How can you make and object accelerate?

An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.


How does zero net force affect an objects state of motion?

If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)


How does force affect speed of an object?

The relationship is given by Newton's Second Law. Briefly, a net force (an unbalanced force) will accelerate the object, that is, it will change its velocity.
