A net force must be applied to the object. That is, the vector sum of ALL the forces acting on the object must not be zero.

a force will need to be applied to the object, causing it to accelerate and change speed or direction according to Newton's Law force = mass x acceleration

Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?

Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.


Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?

Circular motion would change the direction of an object but would not affect the object's speed.


What must happen for an object that is already moving to change its speed or direction?

a(n) unblanced force must act on the object


What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases


What will happen when you exert force on an object that is in motion?

Its speed, or direction, or both, change. That's called "acceleration".


Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?

FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.


What does newtons first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?

The object will maintain its speed and direction or the object will not change its speed or direction.


What is a change in an object's motion called?

A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".


What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?

A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.


What is change in the speed of an object?

A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).


What must happen for an obect at rest to move or change its speed?

A force must be applied to that object according to Newton's First Law of Motion in order to change the speed and its direction.


Velocity is the change of speed and direction of an object?

No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.
