Using real world observations such as:
- a Baseball hit by a bat
- a thrown ball is pulled to the ground by gravity
- a balloon is blown across the sky
- air moves away from a rotating fan blade

If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?
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.
How can an object travelling in one direction be accelerated in another direction?
An object is accelerated in the direction of the net force acting on it, regardless of what direction it may be moving.
When a object accelerates in the same direction as its motion it has?
change in velocity
What must happen for an object to stop start change speed or change direction?
A net force must be applied to the object. That is, the vector sum of ALL the forces acting on the object must not be zero.
How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?
The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.
What changes the direction of a force?
Force changes either the speed or the direction of motion, or both.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
If force can move an object but not change its direction true?
Newtons stated in his First Law that an object will stay at rest or in constant motion in a straight line unless acted on by an external and imbalance force.Thus if the force you have identified has moved an object it will move in one direction essentially forever. It takes the application of another unbalanced force to change its direction, So yes a secondary force can change the direction or velocity of an object or direction but this force is serrate from theinitial force,
What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?
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.
Can forces change an object motiin?
Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
What is the force acting on an object that will change the direction of object?
inertia
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.
How can an object change it direction?
Some force is applied to the object in any direction not the same as the present direction.
How can an object change speed or direction?
Gravitational Force
If you exert force on an object in motion you will change its?
Direction
How do force affect 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.
Will an unalanced force acting on an object change the object motion?
Yes,unbalaced force may stop or change the direction of motion or accelarate the object.
