What else can I help you with?
What would you call it when air resistance the force of gravity and a falling object stops accelerating?
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
If an object is not accelerating what can you determint about the sum of all the orces on the object?
In that case, the sum of all forces must be zero.
Does an object that has balanced forces or no force acting on it must be stationary?
No. An object that has no net force on it will simply not be accelerating. It can be in motion, but it can not have any change in its velocity.
When an object is falling at terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
If an object is accelerating does Newton's third law apply?
Basically, Newton's Third Law ALWAYS applies.To accelerate an object, you need to apply some force to it. There MUST be a counterforce, from the object back to the object that pulls or pushes it.
How do you know an object is accelerating?
You can tell an object is accelerating if its velocity is changing, either in speed or direction. This can be observed by noticing a change in the object's position over time.
What key words tell you the object is accelerating?
Changing speed.
Which object is accelerating?
An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.
What is a line sloping upwards on a speed time graph tell us?
The object is accelerating
How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.
What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
Can an accelerating object have zero speed?
No, an accelerating object cannot have zero speed. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes over time. If an object is accelerating, its speed is increasing or decreasing, but it cannot be zero.
When is an object not accelerating?
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is what?
If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.
If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
What happens to the velocity of an accelerating object?
The velocity of an accelerating object increases over time as long as the acceleration is maintained.
What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?
An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.
