An object accelerates when all the forces acting on it don't add up to zero.

Is it harder to accelerate a moving object?

No, it is not harder to accelerate a moving object. The initial motion of the object does not affect the force required to accelerate it further. The force required to accelerate an object depends on its mass and the desired acceleration.


Does it take more force to accelerate a moving object?

No, it takes the same force to accelerate a moving object as it does to accelerate a stationary object, according to Newton's first law of motion. The force required depends on the mass of the object and the desired acceleration.


What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?

A non-moving object in equilibrium does not accelerate or change velocity. It remains stationary and experiences no net force acting on it.


WHEN a moving object is acted on by unbalanced forces the object will?

accelerate in the direction of the net force.


What happens when the longer a force acts on moving object?

If a force is being applied to a moving object, it will change its velocity (it will accelerate) appropriately.


What force can cause an object at rest to move or it can accelerate an object that is already moving?

Any force.


How the forces affects the object at rest?

An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.


What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?

an object can accelerate both up and down


How the unbalanced force affects the object at rest?

An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.


Why do moving body accelerate?

Not all moving objects accelerate. In general, an object will accelerate if there is a net force acting on it. For a ball in the air, this might be gravitation + air resistance; for a moving car (once you turn the engine off) it might be the force of friction; etc.


How force act on an object?

If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.


What happens when unbalenced force acts on an object?

When an unbalanced force acts on an object, it causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the force. This acceleration could result in the object moving faster, slowing down, or changing direction. The object will continue to accelerate as long as the unbalanced force is applied.
