Acceleration is a rate of change of motion. It's usually measured in x squared, or x per second, per second. Acceleration may be a rate of change (not a change, a rate of change) such as: Zero to 50 miles per hour may be ten miles per second, per second. The first second, he was going 10 mph...the second second he was going 20 mph... the 3rd second he's going 30 miles per hour.... So...the acceleration is 10 exponent 2 or 10 miles per second squared. For acceleration to happen, an object must continue to increase it's speed. It has to go 10 then 20 then 30 then 40 then 50 miles per hour to accelerate. A RATE of change of speed.

What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?
it does not accelerate
What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?
The object would accelerate faster.
What will happen to a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force?
It will not accelerate. That means that its velocity won't change.
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
What can happen when an unbalanced force interacts with an object?
Then the object will accelerate.
What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?
it does not accelerate
What happends when an inmoveable object meets an unstopeble object?
That will never happen - it can't happen actually. Any time you apply a force to an object, it will accelerate - its velocity will change.
What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?
The object would accelerate faster.
What may happen when an object receives balanced forces?
It may get crushed, but its center of mass will not accelerate.
What will happen to a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force?
It will not accelerate. That means that its velocity won't change.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what?
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
What are the requirements for an object to accelerate?
Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.
