Not necessarily. In our atmosphere, of course, we have friction due to the object displacing air, or if it is moving on some kind of wheel we have bearing friction, wheels (or what-have-you) against the road surface, etc. If the path or speed of the object is changing, then there is a force acting on it. Like the space station orbiting the Earth.

A force will produce acceleration when the object moves.

force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration

and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.

An object will move only when there is an unbalanced force acting on it.

wrong. Object only ACCELERATE when non-balanced forces are applied. Objects in motion will stay in motion even if no forces are applied.

Your question is unclear. A force can only be applied in the direction of that force.

What direction does an applied force move an object?

it moves ----------> there for if you were to push the object it will go <--------


What is the only part of an applied force that performs work on an object?

The component of the force that is collinear with the direction in which the object moves.


When can use say that work is done?

Work is done when a force is applied to an object which moves in the direction of the force.


What two things need to happen for there to be work done on an object?

If he object moves as a force is applied and the direction of the objects motion is the same as the direction of the same force.


True or false work is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?

true!


What factors affect work?

Work is done when an object moves in the direction in which a force is applied to it. So the factors are the magnitude and direction of the applied force and the factors which affect the object's motion. The latter will include the mass of the object and friction (including drag).


What direction do objects moves when a force like push is applied?

It moves in the direction of the force acting on it.


When a force is applied that moves an object in the direction of the applied force is gravity done?

Gravity is indeed a force, but only one out of many. magnetic, frictional, mechanical ... . When an ordinary force applied to an object, (me pushing my wheelbarrow) this would not be considered as being affected by gravity.


When can work be negative physics?

If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.


What happens when an unbalanced force is applied to an object at rest?

It moves the object in the direction of the force. If a force is balanced, it means that a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction is acting upon the same object. If there isn't an equal and opposite force acting on an object, it moves it.


If you see an object change its motion what has happen to it?

when an object changes its motion it is because a new force that is greater than the original force has been applied to the object and that object changes its motion unless the force is in the same direction as the original force, which would then imply that the object stays in the same direction of motion, but moves at a greater speed in that direction.


By definition work is a force that's applied over a specific?

Work - or energy transferred is the product of force and the distance that the object moves in the direction of the force. I just ate poo
