f=ma newtons 2nd law of motion where f is the net force m is mass in kg and a is acceleration in m/s^2 basically the net force is in the direction of the acceleration

What happens when an unbalanced force acts on an objects?

as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force


An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


What happens when an unbalanced force is acting on an object?

as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force


An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting upon it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces, and the object will accelerate in the direction of this net force.


What does a force mean in science?

In science, force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. It is described by its magnitude and direction, and is typically measured in units of Newtons.


Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?

Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.


When forces on an object are unbalanced the object wil?

It will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force.


Would it be true to say that objects accelerate when foces are unbalanced?

That is true. According to Newton's first law of motion: "An object at rest tends to stay at rest, of if it is in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a sum of physical forces." So if I'm pushing in one direction with 5 Newtons of force, and you are pushing in the opposite direction with 3 Newtons of force, the object will begin to accelerate towards you. This is also assuming that we either void the static friction, or we are on a frictionless surface.


What is an object speed and direction?

in terms of speed and direction , in what ways can an object accelerate


When two forces act in opposite directions the object will accelerate in the same direction as the what?

The object will accelerate in the same direction as the larger force.


In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?

an object can accelerate both up and down


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.
