What occurs when a object travels in a curved path?
Acceleration
Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.
If acceleration equals gravity. what is the weight of the object?
Object's weight = (object's mass) multiplied by (acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is)
What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it?
There will by no change in the mass, which is constant, but the unbalanced force will cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration can be in a positive direction or a negative direction ("deceleration"), or it can be circular, in which the acceleration changes constantly, even if the velocity remains constant.
What affects the acceleration of an object?
An object's acceleration is the result of a force being applied to it. When that happens, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is equal to the force divided by the object's mass, and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the force.
When centripical acceleration occurs an object does what?
It is OK !
What occurs when a object travels in a curved path?
Acceleration
Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.
When does acceleraion occur?
Acceleration occurs when there is unbalanced force applied to an object.
What occurs every time an object speeds up or slows down?
Acceleration
What is the definition of free fall?
when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.
What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?
Constant acceleration
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
Can acceleration and velocity be the same?
No. Velocity is the change of location and accelarion is any change that occurs to the velocity of an object.
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion called?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
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.
What happens to the acceleration of an object's if the force on the object increase?
its acceleration will be increased
