What is the upwars force acting on an object?

The upward force acting on an object is the normal force. It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction to the object's weight.


An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?

weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.


What is the force acting on an object that will change the direction of object?

inertia


How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?

During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.


How can an object travelling in one direction be accelerated in another direction?

An object is accelerated in the direction of the net force acting on it, regardless of what direction it may be moving.


What is the measure of the force of gravity of acting on an object?

the WEIGHT of the object.


If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?

You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.


What is a weight?

"Weight" is a measure of gravitational force acting on an object.


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.


Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?

The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.


What does measure the force of gravity acting on an object mean?

Type your answer here... it means that measure the weight of object.Because weight of an object =force of gravity acting on it
