If the motion has stopped before you arrive to investigate the object, then it would be pretty hard to tell. The only way to infer previous motion might be if you had seen it before, and when you return, it's no longer where you left it.

How can an object be put into motion naturally?

An object needs to have some sort of force exerted on it to be put into motion. There are no "unnatural" forces, therefore any object put into motion will have been done so "naturally."


How can one calculate the distance traveled by an object using its velocity and the time it has been in motion?

To calculate the distance traveled by an object, multiply its velocity by the time it has been in motion. This formula is distance velocity x time.


Is it possible for and object to be in motion if the object is moving in a straight line?

The answer to the question seems to be clearly given within the question. You have said that the object " ... is moving ... " in a straight line. Therefore we conclude that if you have been honest with us, then the object is certainly in motion.


When can you say when the object is in motion?

when can you say that the object is in motion


When an object has had its shape or direction of motion changed it has been acted on by a?

force. A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, change speed, or change direction. It is necessary to change the state of motion of an object.


When an object is not in motion it is said to be?

When an object is not in motion, it is said to be at rest.

What is the rate of motion of an object in linear motion?

That is the object's 'speed'.


What does an object in motion always wants to do?

An object doesn't "want to" do anything. An object in motion has the natural tendency to remain in motion.


What are the 3 ways of motion?

The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.


If you see an object change its motion what has happen to it?

when an object changes its motion it is because a new force that is greater than the original force has been applied to the object and that object changes its motion unless the force is in the same direction as the original force, which would then imply that the object stays in the same direction of motion, but moves at a greater speed in that direction.


Why does object in motion stay in motion?

An object in motion stays in motion because of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Once an object is set in motion, it will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
