What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?
Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
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 direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
Examples of when a force causes an object to stop moving?
Take a ball and push it an angle yo direction of motion.what do you observe? Answer-change the angle of your hand with respect to the direction of motion of the ball.Does yoo effort result in change in direction of motion of ball?
Is velocity a change in an objects motion?
Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
What are the forces that result in no change in an objects. Motion?
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.
Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?
An unbalanced force can: change the speed an object moves at change the direction an object is moving cause an object to start/stop moving
What term is defined as change in an objects position over time without including direction?
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
What term is defined as the change in an objects positions over time without including direction?
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
An unbalanced force will not change an objects motion?
If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).
What is a change in an objects position direction or location?
The change in an objects position is called motion.
What is a change in an object's motion called?
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?
It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.
Acceleration is a change in speed or?
Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.
Can forces change an object motiin?
Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
