Why might someone want to change the direction of a force they apply?

If the work that they want to do is not being accomplished, they may want to change the direction of force. They may also want to change the direction of force due to space constraints.

Does change in derection cause accerelation?
In order to have a change in direction, per Newton's laws of motion, you have to apply a force. If you have a force, then you have acceleration. Thus, a change in direction is caused byacceleration.
What kind of pulley changes the direction of input force but does not change amount of force you apply?
A single pulley alters the direction of the input but confers no mechanical advantage.
What is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and move 4m in the direction of force?
what is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and we move 4 m in the direction of force
Why must a force be exerted to cause an object to move on a curve path?
Newton's 1st law of motion: an object will continue on its course at the same speed and direction, if the net force acting on the object is zero. Hence, if you don't apply any net force on the object, its direction and speed will not change (it will not move on a curved path). If you want the object to change direction, you need to apply a net force away from the direction of travel (the net force is pointing at a non-zero angle with the direction of travel).
How is a change in an object's direction related to the applied force?
In order to change direction, the applied force (represented as a Vector) must change DIRECTION. A change in magnitude of the Force is not necessary.

What can a force do?
a force is something that you apply to an object- it can move-change shape-change direction-slow it down-make it faster

What kind of pulley changes the direction of the input force but does not change the amount of the force you apply?
They pulley is applied by the output force and then it is being added on by the input work.
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
How is a change in an object's direction related to the applied force?
In order to change direction, the applied force (represented as a Vector) must change DIRECTION. A change in magnitude of the Force is not necessary.
What does a pulley do to the direction of a force?
Pulleys change the direction of a force.
In which direction must a student apply a force to a toy car for it to turn to the left?
the child must apply a force on the direction perpendicular to the car from the right side
How can you chang the direction or speed of an object?
apply a force to it
What are ways in which force may change the motion of a body?
If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.
