If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
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
A change in a moving object's direction always results in a change in its?

What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.
What are 4 effects of forces?
Its effect are:- Changes the of position object Changes the of direction object Changes the of dimension object Changes the of speed object -Thunder

Does a moving object travel in a line until a force changes its direction?
Yes. A moving object travels in a straight line at constant speed until a net force acts on it. However, the direction will only change if the force is in a different direction then the motion.
What will an object in straight-line motion tend to do?
An object in motion tends to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed,unless an external force acts on it to change its direction or speed.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
If you change the velocity of a moving object you change the?
Speed or direction or both.
When thrust and drag are equal why does the object still move?
When the forces on an object add up to zero, the object's acceleration is zero. Thatmeans the speed or direction of its motion doesn't change. It does not mean thatthe object isn't moving. A moving object would just keep moving at a constantspeed in a straight line.
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
How can a force effect a moving object?
It can change its speed or direction.

What does newtons first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?
The object will maintain its speed and direction or the object will not change its speed or direction.
Can density cause a change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
yes
