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.


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.


Motion is change in?

Motion is the change in an object's position.


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

downward motion


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 friction due to?

The motion of gravity pressing on the object!


What must happen for an object to be in motion?

Gravity I guess :-)


Motion that is under the influence of gravity alone is called?

Free fall is the term in Newtonian physics used to describe the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone. Such an object moves along a geodesic. One example of an object always in free fall is Earth's moon.


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.


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.


How center of gravity determines whether the objects is at rest or in motion.?

The centre of gravity does not, by itself, determine whether an object is at rest or in motion. The location of the centre of gravity, relative to where the object is supported, can contribute one of many forces that can act on the object. And it is is the [vector] sum of these forces which determines whether the object remains at rest or in uniform 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.
