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 does a pulley do to the direction of a force?
Pulleys change the direction of a force.
What does a screw do to the force you apply?
How much force is needed to push a screw/nail into the wood is a function of the size of the surface area of the part of the screw/nail that you are trying to put in. This idea is described in the pressure function which says P=F/A The wood has a certain resistivity to deform but with enough Force (applied with a hammer/screwdriver) over a small enough Area (the bottom of the screw/nail) the Pressure will be enough to drive it through. your mom
What is needed to change the direction of a moving mass?
The answer is force because Force is needed to change the direction of a moving mass.
What changes the direction of a force?
Force changes either the speed or the direction of motion, or both.
Does a wedge change the direction of the force?
when it changes its direction
Does a pulley change the direction over which you exert your force?
No it does notIt may change direction but obviosly it cannot exert you force
Can force change the direction of a body?
Strictly you should ask whether a force can change the direction a body is moving in. The answer is yes.
Why might someone want to change the direction of a force they apply?
If the work that they want to do is not being accomplished, they may want to change the direction of force. They may also want to change the direction of force due to space constraints.
What must be applied to an object to change its direction?
Forces cause motion or the change in motion.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
What it takes a force to change?
Direction
