An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?

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

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

The direction of net force will decide the direction of motion. Hence the object will accelerate in the direction of net force.

All objects accelerate in the direction of the net force. No object will accelerate at all without a net force.

If a force is applied to an object, it will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force. If an object ejects mass, it will accelerate in the other direction (because momentum is conserved).

Accelerate it! If the forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction the uneven force is pushing on.

Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

The acceleration will be in the direction of the net force.

Newton's second law of motion states that a net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the same direction as the force.

it will accelerate in the direction of the net force

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.

Any force on an object causes it to accelerate, as long as the force isn't canceled by another force that's equal in size and in the opposite direction.

Any frictional force can cause an object to accelerate, but the acceleration is always in the opposite direction of the direction of motion of the object. That is to say frictional forces can cause negative acceleration (or deceleration) of an object in motion.

This depends on in which direction the force is being applied. If the force is applied against the direction of movement, it will slow a body down If the force is applied in the same direction of movement then it will cause the body to accelerate. If the force is applied in a direction at angle to the motion, the force can either cause the object to slow down or accelerate depending on the angle.

Net force causes an object to accelerate, or decelerate and/or to move in a new direction.

It will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force.

An object that has an unbalanced force acting on it will accelerate in the direction of that force.

An object accelerates in the direction of the net applied force, which is the vector sum of all applied forces.

If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.

The application of force on object (without opposing forces) results in acceleration in the direction of the vector. In this case the unbalanced force to the left will accelerate the object to the right.

The object will accelerate in a downward direction.

If the object accelerates, that means the forces are NOT balanced.

A force can cause a resting object to move, or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the objects direction.

When force is applied to an object, the velocity changes. The object can either accelerate or decelerate and can change direction.

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.

An object that has an unbalanced force acting on it will accelerate in the direction of that force.

A net force (unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. A net force will change the momentum of an object.

A force is a push, pull, or dragging on an object that affects its motion. ... The action from a force can cause an object to accelerate, to decelerate, to stop or to change direction.

A force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate. This is one of Newton's Laws. Summarized as No force means no acceleration (the object will remain at rest, or will keep traveling with constant speed and direction until a force acts upon it).

If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is…

You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.

If the force is acting in the opposite direction to the movement, the object will slow down and then accelerate in the direction of the force. Negative for

No. The object will accelerate or decelerate depending on the direction of the unbalanced force.

Newton's second Law states that when a resultant force acts on an object with constant mass, the object will accelerate and move in the direction of the resultant force. The product of the mass and the acceleration of the object is equal to the resultant force. The direction of the acceleration has the same direction as the resultant force. If the force stated in this question is always greater than the opposing force (i.e. friction…

If there is a net force of 0 acting on an object then the object is either stationary or moving at a constant velocity. If the net force is not zero the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

It can accelerate or decelerate, depending on the direction of force

as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force

Accelerate, assuming that there is a net force acting upon the object. This means that the force you exert upon an object is not matched by any other force(s) in the opposite direction. Say you push on a wall. The wall will not accelerate because it will push back on you with the same force(Newton's Third Law). So the wall won't go anywhere, because there is zero net force in that system. But if we…

If the forces are unbalanced this means there is a net force in one direction. This is found by adding the forces in magnitude and direction. The net force will make the object move and accelerate in the direction it is acting.

Not necessarily. Motion depends on the VELOCITY of the particle. What can only be said is that the object will ACCELERATE in the same direction as the unbalanced force (provided it is the only unbalanced force acting on the body)

Force is required to accelerate an object and give it speed (in a given direction). When an object is moving (after the force is applied), it will have velocity, which is speed (which itself is distance per unit of time) in a given direction. If a force is applied to the moving object, it will accelerate with a resultant new velocity. Some links are supplied to related articles posted by our friends at Wikipedia, where…

In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.

It has to change its speed or direction. In order for that to happen, there has to be a net force applied to the object which is non zero.

An object will accelerate in the direction of the force. If it is already moving in some other direction, it will change its direction and speed gradually. If it is initially at rest, and there is an unbalanced force, it WILL move in the direction of the unbalanced force. That is, in the direction of the vector sum of all forces acting on the object. If it moves in any other direction, then your assumption…

Newton's 2nd law of motion, F=ma, where F and a are vectors.

the object accelerates in each direction that the forces define. The object will accelerate, overall, in a direction representative of all forces.

Friction is a force that is created when an object or surface moves over another object or surface making the object to resist the direction of motion ( accelerate in the opposite direction).

According to Newton's Second Law, F=ma, an object accelerates in the direction of a force, and the acceleration depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object being acted upon. In other words, an object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

According to Newton's 2nd law, a net force applied to an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. F = m a F = force m = mass a = acceleration
