This depends on in which direction the force is being applied.
If the force is applied against the direction of movement, it will slow a body down
If the force is applied in the same direction of movement then it will cause the body to accelerate.
If the force is applied in a direction at angle to the motion, the force can either cause the object to slow down or accelerate depending on the angle.

∙ 12y agothe action from a force can cause an object to move or speed up, to slow down, to stop, or to change direction. since any change in velocity is considered acceleration, it can be said that a force on an object results in the acceleration of an object. with motion comes force. force does not exist without motion. force is mass times acceleration.

∙ 9y agoThis is described by Newton's Second Law. Basically, an unbalanced (or net) force will cause an object to accelerate - its velocity will change. F=ma

∙ 15y agoForce is generally a energy vector that is applied to an object and changes the SUM OF THE FORCES and can result in movement based on given scenario.
Force= Mass x Acceleration

different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration".

A force is needed to change the motion of an object?
Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
What is newton's second law of motion simplified?
an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force
How do unbalanced forces affect motion?
-- An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. -- If an object is not moving, then the group of forces on it must be balanced, else it would be accelerated.
A change in speed or direction?
A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.
What is the effect of balanced force to object whose already in motion?
A balanced force has no effect on any object: whether it is already in motion or is at rest is not relevant.
The factors that may have effect on the motion of an object?
Force is the only such factor.
How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?
Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.
How does the outside force effect the motion of an object?
F=ma.Or force causes acceleration,which is another way of saying that the motion changes.
When studying the effect of an applied force on the motion of an object why do you place the object on a level table top?
So that all of the motion you observe is the result of the force you applied, and none of it is the result of gravity.
Why is it useful to know net force?
you can the effect of the net force in the object motion
A force is needed to change the motion of an object?
Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.
What effect does friction have when you try to move a object at rest?
Sticking. An extra force is required to start the motion, above the force required to maintain motion.
How does a change in force affect the movement of an object?
The motion of an object is determined according to Newton's laws of motion. In particular, acceleration is proportional to force. If you change the force, you change the acceleration. There are many details beyond that, but that is the simple answer to a very broad question. NOTE: Neither the force nor a change in it has any effect on the motion of an object unless the force happens to be acting on the object.
How does force affect an object's motion?
When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. Newtons 2nd law of motion states: An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force. If a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.
How does force effect an objects motion?
Force on an object accelerates the object. That means it can make the object go faster, go slower, or change the direction it's moving.
When the forces on an object produce a net force of zero is called what?
That's called a 'balanced' group of forces. Their effect on the object's motion is the same as the effect of zero force ... the object may rotate, but it won't accelerate.
