When an object is acted on by unbalanced forces, the object will?

Move (or change direction/speed if it was already moving).


What are the3 laws of motion?

1. A still object will remain still until acted upon by an outside force. A moving object will remain moving in the same direction with the same speed until acted upon by an outside force. 2. An object will move in the same direction as the force it was acted on by and will not stop even if the force stops 3. All actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Hopefully this helped


What changes speed and direction?

Velocity is defined as a vector quantity representing both speed and direction. Acceleration is defined as the rate at which velocity changes. The acceleration of an object changes when it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.


What occurs when unbalance force are acting on an object?

An object will continue to travel at constant speed unless acted on by an unbalanced force, and for every force acted on there is an equal opposite reaction in the other way. So the speed and direction of the object will be changed.Source(s):F=MA


A moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will what?

d


When the velocity of an object changes it is acted upon what?

Force


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.


When an object is moving it stays moving unless acted upon by?

When an object is moving it stays moving unless acted upon by opposing force(s). i.e. gravity, friction, etc. See Newton's 1st law of motion: related links.


When an object has had its shape or direction of motion changed it has been acted on by a?

force


What happen if an object is acted upon by balanced forces?

In this case, it is as if no force acted on the object. The object won't acceleration; if it is resting, it will continue resting, and if it is moving, it will continue moving at the same velocity.


What will be the answer toAn object acted upon a force will what in the same direction of the force?

An object acted on by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. Be careful, though, as this doesn't mean it will actually MOVE in the direction of the force. It may just slow down, etc.


What occurs to an object's direction when acted on by an unbalanced force?

Direction will be changed by the force caused acceleration, a=F/m.
