What force causes something to fall straight to the ground when it is dropped?
Gravity Actually its not! Its the weight! Were doing a homeowork on physics my physicsa teacher sed it was weight not gravity
What force causes something to accelerate or decelerate?
Any net force on it does.
What is a force that opposes is most often causes something to stop moving?
Force
Why velocity is non zero when ball dropped to the ground?
The initial velocity of a dropped ball is zero in the y (up-down) direction. After it is dropped gravity causes an acceleration, which causes the velocity to increase. F = ma, The acceleration due to gravity creates a force on the mass of the ball.
Do the words push and pull indicate size and direction?
Push and pull indicate direction only, not size. A push is an application of force which causes something to move away from the source of the force. A pull causes something to move toward the source of the force.

If A rubber ball is dropped on the floor what force causes it to bounce?
kinetic and potential energy.
What is a combined force that causes something to move?
A balanced force. (:
What force causes something to accelerate or decelerate?
Any net force on it does.
When the acceleration is not in a straight line on a graph what does this indicate?
That the force that causes the acceleration is not constant.
What is a force that opposes is most often causes something to stop moving?
Force

What causes can to move in straight-line path?
Inertia - or the absence of any force making it change direction.
What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?
Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.
Do the words push and pull indicate size and direction?
Push and pull indicate direction only, not size. A push is an application of force which causes something to move away from the source of the force. A pull causes something to move toward the source of the force.
What is meant by centripetal force?
That refers to the force required to keep something moving in a circle. Since the natural tendency of objects is to move in a straight line, it requires a force to make something move any other way.
Does distance affect the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
The only thing that causes or influences acceleration of an object is force.
