A force, or several forces that don't add up to zero, acting on the object.

The change in an object velocity?

a change in a objects velocity is caused by a unbalanced force :)


Is velocity a change in an objects motion?

Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.


What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?

A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.


The rate of change in an objects position?

This is velocity.


What is the objects change in speed called?

That's simply called a change in velocity. On the other hand, the rate of change in velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is called acceleration.


Why is momentum caused?

momentum is caused by inertia. all objects have inertia, which means if they are moving at a certain velocity or are at rest they will continue to move at that velocity or remain at rest unless acted on by a force. Objects of more mass have greater inertia, so the amount of momentum is equal to the product of an objects mass and the magnitude of its velocity.


What is the change in one objects position compared to an another objects fixed position?

velocity


What would you apply in order to change an objects velocity?

force


A change in a objects velocity is called?

either resistance or inertia


Mass is a measure of an objects resistance to?

To acceleration (change in velocity).


Why does gravity change velocity?

Gravity exerts a force on objects; such a force (if not counteracted by some other force) will cause an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law. The amount of the acceleration can be calculated as a = F/m.


What change in velocity?

Objects that do not speed up, slow down, or change it's direction unless they are pulled in some kind of way can change velocity.
