No. The direction of motion is obviously based on the direction it is moving. However the direction of acceleration is based on the direction of the forces acting on an object. If I throw a Baseball to you, it is moving horizontally, from me to you, however it has the force of gravity pulling it downwards, so the acceleration would point downwards. (There's also a little air resistance which is slowing it down. Air resistance is a form of friction, and friction always opposes motion. Since it's moving forward, air resistance would pull it backwards. So the acceleration would actually be a small amount back as well as straight down.)
Newton's hypothesis included the 3 laws of motion.The first law states that:Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.His 2nd law states that:The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is given by F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.His 3rd law states that:For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
It is exactly the same as momentum and covered by Newton's first law of motion. Inertia is a way of expressing the force required to get an object to move from rest, or the force required to change the velocity or direction of an object in motion. Anything that has mass will have inertia - a "resistance to move or change velocity or direction of motion".
Yes. f=ma the direction of acceleration is the direction of the force and vice versa.
1. A still object will remain still until acted upon by an outside force. A moving object will remain moving in the same direction with the same speed until acted upon by an outside force. 2. An object will move in the same direction as the force it was acted on by and will not stop even if the force stops 3. All actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Hopefully this helped
Force only takes place in the direction of the motion. It cannot be any other way. It could be argued that the action of a cars tyres on the road applies to your question. The car moves forward while the tyres push the earth in the opposite direction. However the tyres are the motion supplying the force and not the car moving in the opposite direction..
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.
If a moving object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion.
Throwing an object straight up in the air is an example of a motion in which acceleration is in the direction of motion. After the object is released, the acceleration due to gravity acts downward, which is in the same direction as the motion of the object as it goes up and then comes back down.
If an object is moving in one direction and slows down, then the direction of its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. This occurs because the acceleration is acting in the direction to oppose the motion and eventually bring the object to a stop.
It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.
Take the component of the acceleration along the direction the object is moving. If this component is positive (the acceleration vector, or the relevant component, points in the same direction as the movement), then the object is speeding up.
The direction of acceleration affects the direction of motion by causing a change in velocity. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the speed of the object increases. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the speed decreases, and if the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity, the object changes direction without changing speed.
When velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction, the object is either speeding up while moving in the opposite direction of its motion (deceleration) or slowing down while moving in the direction of its motion. This results in changes in speed and direction of the object's motion.
A moving object with velocity and acceleration vectors in the same direction is accelerating in the direction of its motion. This means that its speed is increasing as it moves in a straight line.
It will cause acceleration, and increase its velocity.
When an object accelerates in the same direction as its motion, it is experiencing positive acceleration. This means its speed is increasing over time.
Acceleration can be in the opposite direction of motion, which is called deceleration. Acceleration can also be in the same direction as motion, causing an increase in speed. The direction of acceleration depends on the forces acting on the object.
