If an object moves along a curved path at constant speed is a force is acting upon it?

Yes. The centripetal force acts on any body moving along a curved path. It acts along the radius of the path and is pointed towards the centre.
If friction is in the equation there will need to be a force behind the object to counter the slowing effect as well.

What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
An object is traveling in a straight line in space no forces are acting on the object based on this evidence what will happen to the objects motion?
Nothing will happen to the object's motion, it will continue along its path.
If a box is sliding along at a constant speed and the force of friction on the box is 100n what is the net force on the box?
If the box is sliding along at a constant speed, the net force acting on the box is zero.If the net force was not zero, the box would either be speeding up or slowing down.Non-zero net forces acting on objects cause the objects to accelerate. Therefore, if the net forces is not zero, the velocity of the object could not be constant.
What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?
An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.
Why its easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to the curved path of short radius?
The magnitude of centripetal force is calculated by the relation Fc=mv2/r where m is mass of the object,v speed of the object (constant) and r radius of the curved path.If the radius of curved path is large then centripetal force is decrease. Therefore it is easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to a curved path of short radius.
Does a car traveling along a curved path at constant speed have a constant momentum?
No, the magnitude will be constant, but the direction of the momentum will change to reflect the direction of the velocity.
What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
Object with weight W is dragged along a horizontal plane by a force acting along a rope attached to object?
What's the question?
If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?
If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.
If a cart is observed moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal frictionless track is there a constant net force acting on it in the direction of motion?
No force is acting on it. Constant velocity means no acceleration, which means no force, from f=ma, no 'a' no force.
What is curvillinear motion?
Curvilinear motion is the motion of an object in a curved path rather than a straight line. It involves changes in both speed and direction as the object moves along the curve. Examples of curvilinear motion include circular motion, parabolic motion, and elliptical motion.
What is the relationship between rolled distance and time taken?
If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
A moving object with no forces acting on it will?
Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."
What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?
A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.
An object is traveling in a straight line in space no forces are acting on the object based on this evidence what will happen to the objects motion?
Nothing will happen to the object's motion, it will continue along its path.
