By definition, any force enacts a change in momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity, so a force is a change in mass and/or velocity. Since mass is usually constant, any force therefore enacts a change in velocity, and thus moves an object away.

What kind of force moves an object away (4th grade)?

The two major forces that act upon a body are centrifugal force and centripetal force. Centrifugal force causes a body to fly outwards, or moves a body away and centripetal force counteracts centrifugal force, preventing the object from flying out and keeping it moving with a constant speed, in a circular path.Search templates (CTRL+Space) New TemplateHide button


What kind of force can change an object's position?

The force that can change an object's position is an unbalanced force.


What kind of friction occurs when an objects moves through a liquid or gas?

air resistance


What is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?

Not necessarily. In our atmosphere, of course, we have friction due to the object displacing air, or if it is moving on some kind of wheel we have bearing friction, wheels (or what-have-you) against the road surface, etc. If the path or speed of the object is changing, then there is a force acting on it. Like the space station orbiting the Earth.


What is the difference between net force and balanced forces?

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are taken into account. Balanced forces occur when the net force on an object is zero, meaning the object remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity. In contrast, unbalanced forces cause acceleration or deceleration of an object.


What kind of motion do unbalanced forces make?

Unbalanced forces result in an object's acceleration, causing it to change its speed or direction of motion. The object will continue to move in the direction of the stronger force until a balanced condition is achieved.


What kind of force is acting on the object if its pushing or pulling?

Applied Force


What kind of force is exerted on an object with a net force of zero?

Zero


How can you tell if a force you exert is doing work?

Work is done when a force is exerted on an object and that force causes the object to move in the direction of the force. If the object moves, then work is being done. The work done is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.


When an object over a surface the kind of friction that occurs is called friction?

false


What kind of force acts on an object and causes a change in motion?

The force that acts on an object and causes a change in its motion is called unbalanced force. When the forces acting on an object are not in equilibrium, causing a net force in a particular direction, it can result in the object accelerating or decelerating.
