What Force That Causes A Change In The Motion Of An Object Is Called?

The force that causes a change in the motion of an object is called an external force. This force can come from various sources, such as gravity, friction, or contact with another object.


What is the force that causes a resistance in motion called?

Inertia


Anythiing that causes a change in the motion of an object?

That's called a "force".


What is a force that sets an object in motion?

The force that sets an object in motion is called the initial force or the applied force. This force overcomes the object's inertia and causes it to start moving.


What is a force produced by a circular motion that causes something to accelerate?

Circular motion doesn't produce force. 'Centripetal force' is necessary in order to produce circular motion. Also, so-called 'centrifugal force' isn't a force at all.


What is a force called that causes and object to move in circles?

The force that causes an object to move in circles is called centripetal force. It acts towards the center of the circular path and is responsible for maintaining the object's circular motion.


What is the effect that causes objects to move in a curved direction due to to earths rotation?

It's called Coriolis force.


What The effects that causes objects to a move in a curved direction due to earths rotation?

It's called Coriolis force.


What is a coliolis effect?

Nothing.However in physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation, the force acts to the right.


Does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


When does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


Centrifugal force is a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of an object and keeps the object moving in a circle?

No, centrifugal force is the force that causes objects in rotation to move away form the center of rotation. The force that keeps objects moving in circular motion is called "centripetal force".
