A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
Why does newton's first law of motion not work on earth?
It sure works on Earth. It works everywhere. If there is no net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. Vice versa, if the object does not accelerate, that means there is no net force on the object.
When the net force is not zero what will an object do?
Accelerate. Using Newton's second law, Net Force = mass * acceleration rearranged the equation acceleration = Net Force/mass so when the force is non zero and the mass is non zero, the object will accelerate. Note: This does not mean that the object is always at rest when the force is zero, it simply means the velocity is constant (when velocity =0, the object is at rest).
What describes the effects of forces on an object?
Isaac Newton defines force as mass times acceleration.
How does Newtons first law relate to the equilibrium rule?
If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).
An object will accelerate in the direction of what?
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
How are objects able to accelerate?
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?
an object can accelerate both up and down
What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?
an object can accelerate both up and down
If the net force on an object zero?
... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.
If the net force on an object is zero?
... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
What indicates that the forces on an object are balanced?
The object does not accelerate.
