Not exactly.

'Motion' or 'change of motion' are not force. But the only way to change an

object's motion is to cause the group of forces on it to be unbalanced.

If the object's motion is changing, then you can be sure that the group of

forces acting on it is unbalanced.

Is motion a force?

Motion is not a force; it is the change in position of an object over time. Force, on the other hand, is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion. Forces can accelerate, decelerate, or change the direction of motion.


What must be changed in order to change the motion of an object?

To change the motion of an object, one must apply a force to it. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how the motion changes. More force will cause a greater change in motion, and changing the direction of the force will also change the direction of motion.


What is any change in motion caused by?

force! (i think) It was in my science book... so that is what i am assuming!It is actually an unbalanced force not just a force. -Kelsey Munroe


What does it take to change an objects state of motion?

it takes an unbalanced force to change an object's state of motion


What can change the state of rest or motion of an objec?

Force, can change the state of motion through acceleration a=Force/m.


Does a force always change an objects motion?

Not necessarily. If the force is balanced (equal in opposite directions), it will not change the object's motion. However, an unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the force.


How do force and motion relate?

Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Force can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, stop, or change direction. Essentially, force and motion are directly related, as force is what causes changes in the motion of an object.


What is the function of force and motion?

Force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object. Motion is the change in position of an object over time. Together, force can cause motion by accelerating an object or changing its direction.


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 is force related motion?

Force is the one and only means of bringing about a change in motion.


What force can cause a change in motion?

unbalanced force


What is the usual name of force which can't produce motion but only change in motion?

The usual name for a force that can't produce motion but can only change the motion of an object is called a frictional force. Friction acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object and resists its movement.
