Force is not the same as velocity.

I think you're asking "Are they similar in any way ?" and you want me

to say that they both have direction, which makes them both "vectors".

What is the velocity on an object with no net force?

When there is no resultant force there is no acceleration therefore the velocity will stay the same.


When an object has a net force acting on it what happens to its velocity?

When an object has a net force acting on it, its velocity changes. The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force if the force is in the same direction as the object's velocity, decelerate if it's in the opposite direction, or change direction if the force is perpendicular to its velocity.


How does mass affect velocity?

When mass increases, velocity remains constant if the force applied remains constant. However, if the applied force stays the same, an increase in mass will require more force to achieve the same acceleration, which may lead to a decrease in velocity.


How is the direction of force related to the direction of velocity?

The direction of force influences the direction in which an object accelerates or changes its velocity. If the force is applied in the same direction as the velocity, the object speeds up. If the force is applied in the opposite direction, it slows down.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity and you want to change it's momentum you would change it's?

The answer is velocity.


If the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the velocity what happens to the velocity of the object?

a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is net force, and m is mass in kilograms.


Is vector the same as velocity?

No. A vector is any measurement where a direction is relevant. Velocity is one such measure, but there are others, unrelated to velocity (for instance, force).


How does the velocity of an object traveling in a straight line change if a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the objects velocity?

If a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the object's velocity, the object's velocity will increase over time. This is because the force accelerates the object in the same direction as its motion, causing it to speed up.


What force makes things move or change?

The force that makes things move or change is called push or pull, which is known as force in physics. This force can be exerted by various factors such as gravity, electricity, magnetism, or by direct contact between objects.


When an object reaches terminal velocity and there is no net force what is the initial force that got it going to keep it in motion?

Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.


How do you work out constant velocity?

because the force is application on an object is not in the same direction


Is force x velocity equal to power?

No, force x velocity is equal to mechanical power only if the force and velocity are in the same direction. Otherwise, power is calculated by force x velocity x cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and velocity vectors.
