This depends on in which direction the force is being applied.

If the force is applied against the direction of movement, it will slow a body down

If the force is applied in the same direction of movement then it will cause the body to accelerate.

If the force is applied in a direction at angle to the motion, the force can either cause the object to slow down or accelerate depending on the angle.

What is the effect of balanced force to object whose already in motion?

A balanced force has no effect on any object: whether it is already in motion or is at rest is not relevant.


What is the effect of a perpendicular force on an object's motion?

A perpendicular force applied to an object can change its direction of motion without affecting its speed.


The factors that may have effect on the motion of an object?

Force is the only such factor.


What is the effect of a push or pull on an object's motion?

The effect of a push or pull on an object's motion is that it causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the force applied. This acceleration can either speed up, slow down, or change the direction of the object's motion.


How does the outside force effect the motion of an object?

F=ma.Or force causes acceleration,which is another way of saying that the motion changes.


What effect does friction have on the motion of an object when it is the only force acting on it?

Friction slows down the motion of an object when it is the only force acting on it. It opposes the object's movement, causing it to eventually come to a stop.


How do force affect object?

Force can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The magnitude and direction of the force determine the effect on the object's motion, as described by Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). An unbalanced force can also cause an object to deform or break if the force exceeds the object's strength.


Is centrifugal force real, or is it just a perceived effect caused by the inertia of an object in motion?

Centrifugal force is a perceived effect caused by the inertia of an object in motion, rather than a real force. It is the result of an object's tendency to move in a straight line when it is rotating around a central point.

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 is the effect of balanced force to object whose at rest?

A balanced force has no effect on any object.


How does a change in force affect the movement of an object?

The motion of an object is determined according to Newton's laws of motion. In particular, acceleration is proportional to force. If you change the force, you change the acceleration. There are many details beyond that, but that is the simple answer to a very broad question. NOTE: Neither the force nor a change in it has any effect on the motion of an object unless the force happens to be acting on the object.
