How can an object travelling in one direction be accelerated in another direction?
An object is accelerated in the direction of the net force acting on it, regardless of what direction it may be moving.
Together the speed and direction in which an object is moving are called?
velocity
Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?
The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.
When you know both the speed and direction of a moving object you know the?
velocity
How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?
If the positive direction was defined at the outset as the direction opposite to the direction in which the object happens to be moving just now, and the object is slowing down, then the acceleration is positive because, algebraically, the object's speed is increasing in the positive direction.
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
What is the motion in which the velocity of the moving object does change?
Curved motion e.g circular motion and changed speed in the same direction.
What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
An object experiencing a centripetal force will what?
follow a curved path
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
Is An object moving with a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction?
There can be.
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
Centripetal Force
What the speed and the direction an object are moving?
If you know the speed and direction of the object's motion, then you know its velocity.
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
