It has to change its speed or direction. In order for that to happen, there has to be a net force applied to the object which is non zero.

In order for an object to accelerate, it's only necessary

that all of the forces on it don't add up to zero.

The acceleration of the object increases.

What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?

Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.


What is Dividing an object in motion is its velocity by the time necessary to make that change?

(change in speed) divided by (time required to make the change)This number is the magnitude of average acceleration.


If acceleration equals gravity. what is the weight of the object?

Object's weight = (object's mass) multiplied by (acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is)


What is the rate at which an object velocity changes?

Acceleration


When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?

An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.


What affects the acceleration of an object?

An object's acceleration is the result of a force being applied to it. When that happens, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is equal to the force divided by the object's mass, and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the force.


Can an object have zero acceleration and eventually-reverses its acceleration?

I am not sure what you mean by reversing a zero acceleration. An object's acceleration can, of course, change over time.


If you increase the force on an object what happens to the acceleration?

If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration
