What is a force causes an object to change position?

The cause of force is the change of energy with respect to space.


Does newtons second law state that if an unbalanced force acts on an object it will move at constant velocity?

It can accelerate or decelerate, depending on the direction of force


A net force causes an object to?

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.


Newton's Second Law of Motion states that when an unbalanced force acts on an object the object decelerates.?

It can accelerate or decelerate, depending on the direction of force


Examples of what force can do?

force can accelerate any object. it can also decelerate any object. force can also deform any object from its original shape. good enough??:)..


How do force affect object?

A force is a push, pull, or dragging on an object that affects its motion. ... The action from a force can cause an object to accelerate, to decelerate, to stop or to change direction.


Is an unbalanced force needed to start motion?

Yes, in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate, the resultant force cannot be zero.To cause a car to accelerate, the forward force (thrust force/engine force) must be greater than the backwards force (friction force/brake force). When this unbalanced force is achieved, the body will initiate its motion.


What is relationship of force to motion?

take a look at newtons 1st and 2nd laws. Basically if a force is applied on an object in one direction and no other forces are present it will accelerate or decelerate.


Force required to accelerate a mass?

Force = mass x acceleration. Any amount of force will accelerate a mass. The amount of force you want to use depends on how quickly you want to accelerate something.


What causes gravity to accelerate?

The natural constant force of attraction.


What causes an airplane to accelerate?

Usually the force generated by its engines.


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.
