Why does an object move faster on a straight path than a curved path?

With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.

capable of causing it to curve. If not, then it follows a straight path.

How do you use the word hypotheses in a sentence?
The scientist's hypothesis of the experiment was that object A would move faster than object B.
Why would a ball thrown in outer space continue to move in a straight line?
This is due to Newtons first law. Because their is no gravity the object will move in a straight line unless a outside force is applied to it. Such as the gravity of a near by planet/object.
What is momentum the measure of?
If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move. When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object
Can forces make an object move faster or slower or change its direction?
Yes, forces do all of these things. A force changes the velocity of an object, and is the only thing that can change the velocity of an object.
If an object is moving to the left at a constant speed and your eyes are rotating to the left at twice the speed how will you see the object?
The object will appear to be moving to the right in your visual field. This is because your visual field is moving to the left faster than the object is moving to the left. What you will see is that the object will appear in your visual field on the left, and the object will move across your visual field to the right.
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
Is it posible to move in a curved path in the absence of a force?
No. With no external force acting on an object, it moves in a straight line at a constant speed.
What shape makes a glider move faster?
a very thin and narrow shape and also thin enough to go through a circle, the area has to be 18m2 to make it fit through but the shape has to be a sphere so that the bigger part can go in better.
What makes an object move faster and faster when it falls?
gravity
When you heat up an object the particles in the object move?
faster
Why are some object move faster than the object?
why are some objects faster than other
What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.
Why most of the object move in a straight line?
By Newton's Second Law, an object with no force on it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity.
If an object is ----- it can move through the air faster?
streamlined
What happens to an object as its energy increases?
its particles move faster
Can any object move faster than sound?
yes, bot not faster than light
Why some object move faster than the other?
why are some objects faster than other
