What kinds of forces can act on an object?

Normal force can act on an object


What happens when a force is applied to an object while the object moves in a direction opposite to the force?

When a force is applied to an object in the opposite direction of its motion, the object will slow down. The force will act as a decelerating force, causing the object to lose speed and eventually come to a stop if the force continues to be applied.


How does a fixed pulley act as machine?

It changes the direction of the input force only


What are four ways that force Can act on an object?

I have no fuccin idea why u askin me?! and btw only losers actually use this website(: js


In what direction does the force of gravity act on an object moving radially outward from the center of a planet?

The force of gravity acts in the opposite direction of the object's movement, pulling it back towards the center of the planet.


Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?

The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.


What is pulling?

Pulling is the act of applying force to move something towards oneself. It is the opposite of pushing, where force is applied to move something away. Pulling is commonly used in activities like lifting weights, opening doors, or towing objects.


An applied force and a frictional force act on an object The object accelerates in the direction of the applied force Which of the following describe how the frictional force compares to the applied?

We're forced to go out on a limb here and propose an answer without benefit ofthe "following" list of choices, since, apparently, the question was automaticallytruncated and the choices were lost. It's a shame you went to all that trouble tocopy the choices along with the question, only to see them deleted by some nasty 'bot'.Since the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force, the net force on it ...equal to the vector sum of the applied force and the friction force ... must point inthe direction of the applied force, and so the frictional force must be less than theapplied force.


In order for work to be done explain the two things that must occur?

In order for work to be done, a force must be applied to an object, causing the object to move, translating the force into displacement. Work is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.


What does an object do when unbalanced forces act on it?

when unbalanced force acts on a body it moves in the direction in which their is less force acting Improved answer: Unbalance force causes the net force on an object to modify and will move at that force.


What direction does weight act in?

Weight acts in the vertical direction, pulling an object towards the center of the Earth. It is a force due to gravity and is proportional to the mass of the object.


What must happen for an object that is already moving to change its speed or direction?

For an object to change its speed or direction, a force must be applied to it. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how the object's speed or direction changes. This change in motion is described by Newton's laws of motion.
