Yes. f=ma the direction of acceleration is the direction of the force and vice versa.

The application of a force through a distance?
Work = Force * displacement if the displacement and the force are parallel - work is positive if force and displacement are in the same direction, negative if they have opposite direction. At an angle Work = Force * displacement * cos(θ) where θ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
What part of a force does work when the direction of the force and the direction of motion are not the same?
Force only takes place in the direction of the motion. It cannot be any other way. It could be argued that the action of a cars tyres on the road applies to your question. The car moves forward while the tyres push the earth in the opposite direction. However the tyres are the motion supplying the force and not the car moving in the opposite direction..
What are the3 laws of motion?
1. A still object will remain still until acted upon by an outside force. A moving object will remain moving in the same direction with the same speed until acted upon by an outside force. 2. An object will move in the same direction as the force it was acted on by and will not stop even if the force stops 3. All actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Hopefully this helped
What is the force when two people pull one thing?
The total force depends upon the magnitude and direction of the two forces. -If the two people are pulling with equal forces in opposite directions, then the resulting force=0, because the two forces cancel out. 33 -If the two people pull in the same direction with 3 N of force each, then the resulting force=6 N in whatever direction they are pulling. 3
How does inertia work?
It is exactly the same as momentum and covered by Newton's first law of motion. Inertia is a way of expressing the force required to get an object to move from rest, or the force required to change the velocity or direction of an object in motion. Anything that has mass will have inertia - a "resistance to move or change velocity or direction of motion".
How is the direction of force related to the direction of velocity?
There's no connection. What you can say however is that thedirections of force and acceleration are always the same.
Can a force directed north balance a force directed east?
No, only a force direct West can balance a force directed East.
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine that changes only the direction of applied force?
if only the direction changes,the input force will be the same as the output force.the mechanical advantage will always be 1.
What is the mechanical advantage is a machine that changes only the direction of the applied force?
if only the direction changes,the input force will be the same as the output force.the mechanical advantage will always be 1.
What is the relationship between an object's acceleration and the direction of the force on the object?
If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force in another direction is the same as adding a?
as adding a ".... in the opposite direction.
Does friction move in the same direction as or in opposite direction as the object?
The force of friction ALWAYS acts in the direction exactly opposite to the directionin which the object is moving.If the friction force acted in the same direction as the object's motion, then youwould want to have as much friction as possible, because that would help youmove the object with less fuel.
How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?
It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.
How is net force determined if two students moving a piano exert force in the same direction?
The net force resulting from two forces acting in the same direction is the sum of their magnitudes, and continues to act in the same direction.
Why the force and velocity are in perpendicular direction?
In general, force and velocity do not have to be in the same direction; they can be at any angle.
When a force is applied to a body in what direction will the body accelerate?
Acceleration is in the same direction as the applied force.
What is the direction of the force when the ball is pushed to the right?
A force on an object in a certain direction will tend to move the object in the same direction. Hence, the force is to the right.
