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.
gravitey
It doesn't. For example, you can go in a straight line, and speed up or slow down, without changing direction. And if there is both a change in direction and a change in speed, the change of speed wouldn't be the CAUSE for a change in direction. (On the other hand, both can be caused by a force applied to an object.)
External forces such as friction, gravity, and applied forces can cause a change in speed, direction, or both of an object. These forces can either speed up, slow down, or change the direction of an object's motion, depending on their magnitude and direction.
yes
No.
Inertia.
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.
An external force acting on the object can cause it to change its speed and direction. This force can be applied in the form of a push, pull, or any other interaction that changes the object's motion.
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
In order to have a change in direction, per Newton's laws of motion, you have to apply a force. If you have a force, then you have acceleration. Thus, a change in direction is caused byacceleration.
