By definition, every force acting on the object affects its velocity.

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object (the rate of change of velocity with time) is equal to the net force on the object divided by the object's mass. Force is a vector, so if you have several forces acting on the object you must take their vector sum. Only if all the forces acting on the object sum up to zero will the object not accelerate. In that case it will remain stationary if it was already stationary, or continue to move in the same speed and in the same direction as before.

What forces can affect an objects velocity but not the speed?

Centripetal forces can.


Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?

Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.


Forces that cause an objects velocity to change?

In all cases acceleration.


Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?

Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.


What effects do forces have on an object?

Forces accelerate the object, a=f/m and acceleration changes the objects velocity.


How do unbalanced forces affect an objects velocity?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.


Two forces that can affect an object's velocity?

Gravity and friction.


What do baoanced forces do to moving objects?

When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.


Does high velocity affect rate of change of velocity?

No. The rate of change of an object's velocity depends only on the forces acting on it.


How does air resistance affect fallig objects?

terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.


Is a body in motion stays in motion?

That depends. If no forces act on the object, it will. If forces do act on the objects, such forces may change the object's velocity.


What are the possible effects of forces?

Forces can stop or start an object in motion, or change its velocity. They can also change the shape of objects.
