How does force affect movement?
Force is a push or pull that can change an object's speed, direction, or shape. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration or change in motion of an object. The direction of the force applied also determines the direction of the movement.
What is the name for a change in the direction of a wave when it passes one medium into another?
refraction
Does direction matter when a force is applied to an object?
Yes. It determines the direction in which change will happen. If I am pushing a trolley along the supermarket aisle, and you push with me, the trolley will go faster. If you push against me it will slow down, and if you push sideways it will change direction.
What is a change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another?
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. This change occurs because the wave changes speed when it moves from one medium to another, causing it to bend.
Amount of push and pull whick can change speed and direction of moving object?
The amount of force applied determines the acceleration of the object, which can change its speed and direction. The direction of the force applied relative to the object's motion also plays a key role in determining how the object's speed and direction are influenced.
What is the name of the effect when light changes direction?
Reflection-when light change the direction of motion within same medium. Refraction-change of direction when moving to another medium.
What happens if one force is bigger than another?
When one force is greater than another, the larger force will dominate, leading to a net force that determines the direction of motion. This can cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force. If the forces act on a stationary object, the object will start to move in the direction of the stronger force. If the forces are acting on an object already in motion, the object's velocity will change according to the net force.
Which decides direction velocity or acceleration?
Acceleration determines the direction of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, while acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If an object is accelerating, its velocity is changing, which means its direction is also changing.
What is the relationship between the net force acting on an object and the direction in which the object moves?
The net force acting on an object determines the acceleration of the object in the direction of the force. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the object will accelerate in that direction. If the net force is in the opposite direction, the object will decelerate or change direction.
What is the name for a change in direction of a wave when it passes from one medium into another?
refraction
What changes the direction of a force?
Force changes either the speed or the direction of motion, or both.
When light waves slow down do they change direction?
When light waves slow down as they travel from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, they do change direction. This change in direction is called refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of the light waves in the new medium.
