No.

Direction of force and velocity may be different.

Suppose a thread is tied with a toy car. We pull that thread in about 45 degrees with horizontal. But car moves on land.

So,

In such casses work done can be calculated by formula,

W = F.s cos theta

Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?

Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.


How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?

The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.


Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?

No, the acceleration of an object is in the direction of the net force applied to it. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the same direction. If the net force is opposite to the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction.


What Is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the direction of the motion of an object?

The force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion of an object is friction. Friction is a force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, slowing down or stopping the object.


How is the direction of the force of kinetic friction related to the direction of an objects morion?

The force of kinetic friction always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of an object's motion. It resists the motion of the object by acting in the direction that opposes its velocity.


Will an unbalanced force always result in motion?

Not always. An unbalanced force will accelerate an object in the direction of the force. If the object is already in motion, the unbalanced force can either speed up, slow down, or change the direction of the motion. If the force is not enough to overcome other resistive forces, the object may not move.


What direction does the frictional force always act?

Frictional force always acts opposite to the direction of motion or the impending motion of an object, parallel to the surface in contact.


What is the relationship between the net force acting on an object and the direction in which the object moves?

The net force acting on an object determines the acceleration of the object in the direction of the force. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the object will accelerate in that direction. If the net force is in the opposite direction, the object will decelerate or change direction.


How is the direction of force related to the direction of velocity?

The direction of force influences the direction in which an object accelerates or changes its velocity. If the force is applied in the same direction as the velocity, the object speeds up. If the force is applied in the opposite direction, it slows down.


Can force always brings about changes in the state of the motion of an object?

A single force on an object, or a net force ... the sum of all forces on it when the sumis not zero ... always changes the object's velocity ... speed, or direction, or both.


What force always acts in the opposite direction from gravity?

The normal force, exerted by a surface in contact with an object, always acts perpendicular to the surface and in the direction opposite to gravity to keep the object from falling through the surface.


When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object's or depends on the size and direction of the force.?

When an unbalanced force acts on an object, it will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration of the object. The direction of the force will determine the direction of the object's motion.
