What else can I help you with?
Anything that causes and object to move or change its speed or change its direction is called what?
A force.
What causes light to change directions?
The change in speed of light changes the direction.
Why does a golf ball accelerates when either if speed or direction changes?
A change in speed or direction of a golf ball causes a net force to act on it. According to Newton's second law of motion, this net force results in an acceleration of the golf ball in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration causes the golf ball to speed up or change its direction.
Why do waves change speed and direction?
Waves change speed and direction when they encounter changes in the medium through which they are moving. This can be due to variations in the density, temperature, or composition of the medium. The interaction causes the wave to refract, reflect, or diffract, leading to changes in its speed and direction.
Force can cause an object to change its speed and or direction?
yes, because force is a push or pull, so an example would be that wind (the force) pushed the bike faster toward a building and steered the bike around the building, which causes the bike to change direction. This is an example of velocity too. Velocity is speed in a specific direction.
What causes a wave to bend and travel in new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
A change in speed of the wave due to the change in medium causes the wave to bend and change direction. This change in speed is a result of the wave moving from a medium with one optical density to another with a different optical density, leading to refraction.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Changing an object's direction without affecting speed requires a force that acts perpendicular to the object's velocity, such as centripetal force or gravitational force. This force causes the object to change direction while continuing at a constant speed. Other forces acting parallel to the object's velocity can change its speed as well as its direction.
What is force and how is it measured?
In physics, a force is any influence that causes a free body to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape.
What is force how is it measured?
In physics, a force is any influence that causes a free body to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape.
What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?
A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.
Forces can change the what of movement of an object?
Forces can change the speed, direction, or both speed and direction of movement of an object.
How does a change in speed cause a wave to change direction?
When a wave travels from one medium to another with a different speed, it can change direction due to refraction. Refraction is the bending of a wave's path as it passes through different mediums at an angle, causing its speed to change. This change in speed causes the wave to bend towards or away from the normal line at the interface.
