What can happen to objects when force is applied on them?

If it is applied equally to all points, then the effect is to accelerate the body according to F = M * a. If it's not homogenous, then it may also cause a rotation.


If a box has equal and opposite forces acting on it will the box accelerate?

No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.


Do all forces cause objects to accelerate give example?

Not all forces can cause an acceleration. In a perfect world, newton's law of F = M*A holds true, but in our world, it is easy to have a force without a resulting acceleration. If you were to poke a 100lb weight, would it move? probably not, because friction would cancel out the force on the weight. since you receive the third law reaction force, any acceleration that would hypothetically happen to the Earth is also canceled out


What is the direction of acceleration for an object in the air?

Heavier than air objects accelerate downwards. Lighter than air objects accelerate upwards until they are no lighter than the air around them.


What keeps all planets asteroids and comets in orbit around the sun?

The force of gravity. All those objects have a force acting between them and the Sun. For the less massive objects the force is less, but mass and force are proportional so the force produces an acceleration that depends only on the object's distance from the Sun. All the objects in orbit would travel in a straight line without a force acting on them, but the pull of the Sun causes them to accelerate or curve continuously towards the Sun. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and the laws of motion, discovered in the late 1600s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes both speed and direction.

Objects that do not accelerate?

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.


How would objects accelerate if they feel in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, objects would accelerate due to the force of gravity acting on them. The rate of acceleration would be the same for all objects, regardless of their mass, and would be equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface.


Why do objects accelerate on ramps?

Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.


What would the world be like if objects didn't accelerate?

than no one would move. nothing would move. you need to accelerate even the smallest amount to be in motion.


Why objects of different masses falling in the moon accelerate at the same rate?

Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.


Does gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at the rate of 98?

The rate is 9.8m/sec


What is a sentence for the word accelerate?

He would wildly accelerate his car when the traffic light turned green. Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate as they move toward the Earth. Living in a foreign country can accelerate the speed at which you learn the native language.


At what rate does gravity cause objects to accelerate?

Gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.


What is the acceleration due to force of gravity?

The force of gravity pulls down on all objects here on earth. If objects are allowed to fall, they accelerate downwards.


What causes objects to accelerate?

Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.


What would you expect to accelerate most?

I would expect small, light objects to accelerate more than large, heavy objects when subjected to the same force, due to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Objects with less mass will experience a greater acceleration for a given force applied to them.


How are objects able to accelerate?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
