An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


What causes an object for accelerate?

A force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate. This is one of Newton's Laws. Summarized as No force means no acceleration (the object will remain at rest, or will keep traveling with constant speed and direction until a force acts upon it).


What word is An object that has an unbalanced force acting on it will accelerate in the direction of that force?

A Vacuum.


Is Centripetal force causes an object to accelerate in a fixed direction true about centripetal force?

Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.


If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?

You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.


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


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 acted upon by a net force will accelerate in the direction of that force?

Newton's Second Law of Motion ...im pretty sure lol xD hope I helped!


Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?

Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.


What describes the effects of forces on an object?

Isaac Newton defines force as mass times acceleration.


What happens when an unbalanced force acts on an objects?

as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
