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.


What is newton's second law of motion simplified?

an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force


What is sir Isaac Newtons 1 law?

Of the Newtons laws of motion the first one states that:(quoting Newton)...every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.


A force is needed to change the motion of an object?

Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.


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

If an object is at rest, a force must be applied to accelerate it (start it moving).

What is Newtons first first law?

An object in motion will remain in motion or an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it.


What newton first law?

Newton's first law is bascically describing Inertia. An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by outside force. An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force.(:


How does force affect an object's motion?

When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. Newtons 2nd law of motion states: An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force. If a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.


How about if the object is already in motion how will the unbalanced force affect its motion?

The unbalanced force will change the object's motion by causing it to accelerate in the direction of the force. If the unbalanced force is acting in the opposite direction of the object's motion, it will slow down the object. If the force is acting in the same direction as the object's motion, it will speed up the object.


How do you produce the motion of an object?

Motion of an object can be produced by applying a force to it. According to Newton's laws of motion, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. By applying a force in the direction you want the object to move, you can produce its motion.


Can a force set a motionless object in motion?

Force is the only thing that can set a motionless object in motion.


Is a picture on a wall a balanced force?

No, a picture on a wall is not a balanced force. Balance refers to the equality of forces acting in opposite directions, resulting in no change in an object's motion. In this case, the force of gravity acting on the picture is balanced by the force exerted by the wall, allowing the picture to remain in place.


What is the function of force and motion?

Force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object. Motion is the change in position of an object over time. Together, force can cause motion by accelerating an object or changing its direction.

How do force and motion relate?

Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Force can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, stop, or change direction. Essentially, force and motion are directly related, as force is what causes changes in the motion of an object.


What is needed to make an object move to make an object change direction or to stop the motion of an object?

To make an object move, a force is required. To change the direction of an object's motion, a different force must be applied in the desired direction. To stop the motion of an object, a force opposite to its direction of motion, known as a braking force, can be applied.
