Anything that causes and object to move or change its speed or change its direction is called what?

A force.


What force causes an object to change direction?

gravity (up to down) friction


What is needed to cause the object at rest to move or an object in motion to change the direction or speed?

Force, which causes acceleration


What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?

I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.


What causes an object to slowdown or speedup?

An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.


Can the position of an object change?

The push or pull action or force on an object causes change in position of an object


What force causes an object to move in the direction of the force?

The force is work.


What is the transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force called?

The transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force is called work.


What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?

A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.


What causes an object to slowdown or speed- up?

An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.


What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?

A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.


If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?

If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
