Any force will cause change in velocity (speed and/or direction)

if it isn't canceled by an equal, opposite force.

What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?

A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.

Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


Can a net force act on an object and not cause it to change speed or direction?

No.


What must be applied to an object to change its direction?

Forces cause motion or the change in motion.


An unbalanced force can cause an object to change its speed and or?

The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.


How do force affect object?

A force is a push, pull, or dragging on an object that affects its motion. ... The action from a force can cause an object to accelerate, to decelerate, to stop or to change direction.


Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?

An unbalanced force can: change the speed an object moves at change the direction an object is moving cause an object to start/stop moving


What can cause the direction of an object moving in a straight line to change?

What is needed in order to cause an object at rest to move or an object in motion to change the direction and speed?

A force.


What will change if a force pushes an object in the same direction as the object's motion?

It will cause acceleration, and increase its velocity.
