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.
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 you stop an object moving in a circular path what direction will the object travel an instant later?
It will travel in the direction of the velocity. I guess learning physics pays off....
The speed of a moving object taken together with its direction of travel gives the what of an object?
Velocity
The speed of a moving object taken together with its direction of travel gives the of the object?
That's the object's 'velocity'.
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant called?
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
How fast an object is moving is called what?
It is called "speed." If the direction is also included, the measurement is "velocity."
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
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.
How fast an object is moving regardless of the direction it is going?
distance covered by the object per unit time is the speed of the object.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
What is the measurement that combines both the speed and the direction of a moving object called?
well i think its Velocity because it means speed and direction
