When a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force what occurs?

Usually any learner would get a doubt regarding the force acting on a body. There are many situations. 1: If a force constantly acts on a body, then it will be accelerated. So its speed would go on increasing if it starts from rest. 2: If a force acts on a uniformly moving body opposite to the direction of motion, then the speed of the body would go on decreasing and it comes to stop. Yet the force is in action, then the body would get accelerated in the other direction. 3: If a force is applied in such a way that it is balanced by an equal and opposite force, then neither acceleration nor retardation is possible. Yet the body could be got moved through some displacement. In such a case we compute only the amount of work done by that applied force. Examples: a) Lifting a book against its gravitational weight. b) Dragging an object on the floor exerting a force which equals to the force of friction between the object and the floor. Even in the earlier case work is said to be done by the force and that work performed will be available as kinetic energy in the moving system. But in latter case the energy spent would be available as potential energy in case of lifting and heat energy in case of dragging.


How can a force affect moving object?

because the force pulls up the moving object and it stops When a force is applied to a body, the body gets acceleration or retardation. so the moving object may move faster or may stop. when there is no force, the moving object will move with a constant velocity.


What effect does a force have on an object in motion?

This depends on in which direction the force is being applied. If the force is applied against the direction of movement, it will slow a body down If the force is applied in the same direction of movement then it will cause the body to accelerate. If the force is applied in a direction at angle to the motion, the force can either cause the object to slow down or accelerate depending on the angle.


What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?

Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.


Force that causes an object o move in the same direction as the force is?

What happens when a balanced force is applied to an object?

The object will not move!!!


To do work how must a force make an object move?

You apply a force to an object. The object must move in the same way as the applied force


What happens when force is applied to an object?

When a force is applied to an object, it accelerates. for example, if you push an object, the object accelerates away from you and, eventually, will move away from you..


What are the situations in which work is not done?

There are 3 conditions for work. First, there must be force. Second, when you apply a certain amount force to an object, it must move a certain distance. lastly, the force that you applied and the direction of the motion must be parallel. If you applied force tot eh right, then the object must move to the right. When you lift a book and then you walk around, no work is done. The direction of the force of your hand is going upwards while the direction of your motion is either left or right. Therefore the force applied and the distance moved are perpendicular.


In what directions can an object move when acted on by a force?

it will move the object that the force i pushing it to Example: Force----&gt;Object------&gt; the object is moved in the direction it is being pushed or pulled by the force


What is the direction of the force when the ball is pushed to the right?

A force on an object in a certain direction will tend to move the object in the same direction. Hence, the force is to the right.


If a resultant force is exerted on an object towards a stated direction for example north does the object move in the north direction does it apply Newton's second law of motion if so why?

A force applied on to an object will accelerate that object in the direction of the force as a vector. It can be seen as applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass, or F=ma. Depending on the mass of the object in question, and wether it is greater than the resultant, or net force, the movement in the northern direction will change. However, as an answer to the question stated: Yes, an object will move in the northern direction if a resultant force is exerted on an object the stated direction.


How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?

The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.
