When a force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?

Changing the magnitude or direction of forces exerted on an object changes the net force (sum of all forces) exerted on the object. The net force exerted on an object is defined as mass times acceleration (F = ma), where mass, m, is constant. This means that when the net force exerted on the object changes in magnitude (or direction), its acceleration will also change in magnitude (or direction). In addition, acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, so when the magnitude (or direction) of acceleration changes, the magnitude (or direction) of velocity will also change.


How is a change in an object's direction related to the applied force?

In order to change direction, the applied force (represented as a Vector) must change DIRECTION. A change in magnitude of the Force is not necessary.


What is needed to change speed into a velocity?

You have a velocity when both a speed and a direction is specified. This kind of magnitude is known as a "vector" - that is, when it is relevant to state a direction, as well as a magnitude, we speak about "vectors".


When does a vector change?

Whenever either its magnitude or its direction (or both) changes.


What changes in motion can result in a change in velocity?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.


When does an object undergoes acceleration?

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object over time. Take note that velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has magnitude and direction...Thus...An object undergoes acceleration when:1. there is a change in the magnitude of the velocity (speed) of an object.2. there is a change in direction of an object.3. it changes both in direction and magnitude.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".


How can an object stay at same speed and still be accelerating?

acceleration is change in velocity over time. It is important to know that speed is not a vector quantity; it is scalar (meaning it does not have direction), -- velocity does. Therefore, speed is only the MAGNITUDE of velocity. Also, acceleration is a vector quantity meaning it has both magnitude and direction. If you change EITHER magnitude or DIRECTION, acceleration changes. Okay anyway to answer your question, You can have the same magnitude of velocity (aka same speed) and still be accelerating if YOU CHANGE DIRECTION. --- gh


Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through a angle?

yes vector change with change in magnitude or direction


How the equqtion of motion for an object moving with a uniform velocity change?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.


What changes in motion can result in a changes in velocity?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.


When you use a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood are you changing the size or the direction of the force?

change the direction of force,because it exerted the force on it.
