Best Answer

The force of gravity (or any force) obey's Newton's Second Law of motion: the force applied to a body is equal to the time derivative of it's momentum. In cases where the mass is constant (practically all of introductory physics and much of graduate-level physics), force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F = ma)

Why does object in motion stay in motion?

An object in motion stays in motion because it requires a force to change the motion. No force, no change.


Is the force of gravity on an object at rest in free fall and the same object horizontally?

Yes. The force of gravity is the same, 9.8m/s2, whether an object is at rest, in vertical motion, or horizontal motion, because the force of gravity is due to the mass of the earth and not to the motion of any object. The force of gravity does decrease slightly with altitude, as distance from the center of the earth increases.


What is the change in an object?

The change in an object's motion, is simply force.The object cannot change motion unless acted upon by an outside force. For example: If I throw a Baseball, it will never stop unless acted upon by gravity (or the outside force). Or the outside force could be it smacking into a wall or your friends head.


What is a change in an objects motion?

It's acceleration. It can be caused by a force (gravity, electric, magnetic or other) affecting that object.


What Is the motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity.?

downward motion


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.


Which force tend to slow an object in motion?

Friction and/or Gravity


The force that holds planets in their orbit?

The force that holds the planets in orbit is gravity, although inertia( the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.) help to hold it in place as well, because the two forces balance each other out.


Why does gravity control motion?

Gravity exerts a force on objects; forces change the motion of objects.


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.


Does a force always change an objects motion?

it usually does, but if the force is balanced, it will not change the object's motion


Can force always bring about change in the state of motion in an object?

No. (Are you sitting down - are you moving - is not the force of gravity affecting you).
