Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.

If you drive onto a moving object how fast is your speed when you are on that moving object?

To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.


Does momentum mean speed?

Not exactly - momentum is more the build up of speed instead of speed itself. Speed is a measure of how fast you are moving, whereas momentum is how mcuh speed you're using.. If that makes sense. As defined by dictionary.com, momentum is force or speed of movement; impetus, as of a physical object or course of events.


Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


Which of these determines the speed and directions of a moving object?

The velocity of a moving object is determined by both its speed and direction. Speed refers to how fast an object is moving, while direction indicates the path it is taking. Together, speed and direction make up the velocity of the object.


What force speed up moving object?

A force can speed up a moving object by accelerating it in the direction of the force. This acceleration increases the object's velocity, causing it to move faster. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and resulting increase in speed.


Does weight speed up an object moving down a hill?

It does if it is on wheels


How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?

This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.


What can speed up or slow down a moving object?

Factors that can speed up a moving object include applying a force in the direction of motion and reducing friction. Factors that can slow down a moving object include applying a force in the opposite direction of motion and increasing friction.


When an object is moving how can we make the object speed up or slow down?

By applying a force in the relevant direction against the object.


An example of zero acceleration would be what?

If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object


What moving object speed up in what direct is the acceleration?

The acceleration is the same direction of the velocity


What force causes a moving object to speed up?

The force that causes a moving object to speed up is called acceleration, which is usually produced by a net force acting on the object in the direction of motion. This net force can be generated by various sources such as gravity, electromagnetism, or propulsion systems.
