Any force will change the rate and/or the direction or an object, whether or not it is (initially) in motion.

The only exceptions would be if there is something (like a surface supporting it) keeping the object from moving in the direction of the force, or if the object is initially not moving, and the force in not enough to overcome friction.

What are 3 things that forces can change?

Forces can change the speed of an object, the direction of an object's motion, and the shape of an object.


Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


What motion does an object have if forces are unbalanced?

If forces are unbalanced on an object, the object will experience acceleration in the direction of the net force. The motion of the object will change depending on the direction and magnitude of the net force applied.


Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Balanced forces have the same effect as not moving at all. The motion of the object does not change at allOnly unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object. It does not matter if the object was at rest or was already moving.


How forces make things change direction?

Forces can change the direction of an object by influencing its velocity. When a force acts on an object in a particular direction, it can accelerate or decelerate the object, causing it to change its direction of motion accordingly. In the absence of opposing forces, an object will continue to move in the direction of the applied force.


What must be applied to an object to change its direction?

A force must be applied to an object in order to change its direction. By exerting a force at an angle to the object's initial direction of motion, the object will change its path and move in a different direction.


How do unbalanced forces affect an objects motion?

forces push and pull on an object making the object move in the direction of the force. the stronger force would overcome the lesser force, causing the object's motion to go in the direction of the stronger force (newton's 2nd law).alsoif forces are balanced there s no acceleration hence there is no motion.....thus if forces are unbalanced the motion is in the same direction as the resultant force (the greater force acting on an object)When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, The one with more mass will pull on the other one, causing a change in motion.


What do unbalanced forces do to an object motion?

Unbalanced forces cause a change in an object's motion by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or changing its direction. The object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force.


Is it true or false that balanced forces can change an object's direction?

False. Balanced forces do not change an object's direction. Balanced forces only keep an object at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line. If an object changes direction, unbalanced forces are acting on it.


What effect do balanced forces have on the motion of objects?

Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.


How forces affects motion?

If force is applied in the line of motion, then motion will increase, but when it is applied opposite to the line of motion, then motion will decrease.


What force can make an objects motion change?

A force can make an object's motion change. Forces such as gravity, friction, and pushing or pulling on an object can accelerate, decelerate, or change the direction of its motion.
