When a mechanic increases the force acting on an object what happens to the distance the object moves?

When the Force increases on an Object, the Distance it travels INCREASES, as does its Velocity.


If a force is increased on an object what happens to tha velocity and the momentum?

You don't even have to increase the force.If there's a force acting on an object, then both its velocity and its acceleration are changing.


What happens to an object when forces acting on an object are balanced?

Balanced force -> Zero net force -> Zero acceleration (stays at rest or constant velocity)


What is the force that causes a change of velocity when acting on an object?

Opposing force


If an object has no net force acting on it?

it is in equilibrium.


What is net force and what does it do?

A net force is the sum (vector sum) of all forces acting on an object. If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will accelerate - its velocity will change over time.


What kind of object has constant velocity?

An object at rest or in motion with no force acting upon it.


When an object is falling at terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?

Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.


What can you assume if an object has a constant velocity?

The net force acting on it is zero.


Is an object's velocity always proportional to the force acting on it at that instant?

No. But its acceleration is.


If an object starts to accelerate?

If an object moved with constant acceleration it's velocity must ?


The net force acting on an stationary object is zero Which best describes the object's velocity?

In that case, the object's velocity won't change.
