When an object accelerates how does air resistance respond?

As an object accelerates, air resistance also increases due to the object moving through the air at a higher speed. This increased air resistance creates a force opposite to the direction of motion, ultimately slowing down the acceleration of the object.


If an object is speeding up to the right what direction does its velocity vector point?

The velocity vector of an object that is speeding up to the right points in the same direction, to the right. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction, so as the object accelerates, the velocity vector will align with the direction of motion.


What does the motion of an object look like after the forces acting on it end?

We don't know what the forces were or in what direction, and we don't know anything about the object. So we have no idea what its motion looks like when the forces end. But we do know that whatever speed it has and whatever direction it's moving at the instant the forces stop, it'll continue in the same direction at the same speed from then on.


How does the force of friction act relative to an object in motion?

It will USUALLY pull the object backwards, in relation to the direction of the motion. This assumes that the material with which it has friction, moves slower than the object you are considering. However, if you put material on a conveyor belt, the force of friction, of the object with the conveyor belt, will pull it FORWARD until the object has the same speed as the conveyor belt.


When does an objects motion change?

The motion of an object will change when it is acted on by some force. This force will speed it up, slow it down, change its direction of motion or perhaps cause it to spin. All thses changes of motion are response to the force acting on the object. This is Newton's first law: An object in motion will continue in motion (and in the same direction) unless acted on by some force. Some might call this the law of inertia.

What affects whether a resultant force accelerates or decelerates an object?

Deceleration is merely acceleration in a direction opposite to the original motion. If something isnt moving it cannot be decelerated but if it is moving and the resultant force acts in the opposite direction to motion it will decelerate the object.

If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?

If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving, its speed will increase. This is because the acceleration is adding to the object's existing velocity in the same direction, causing it to move faster over time.


If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?

The speed of the object will increase.


If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it's moving how is its speed affected?

The speed of the object will increase.


What is the relationship between the center of mass acceleration and the overall motion of an object?

The center of mass acceleration of an object is directly related to its overall motion. When the center of mass accelerates, the object as a whole will also accelerate in the same direction. This means that changes in the center of mass acceleration will affect the overall motion of the object.


Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?

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.


How does the velocity of an object traveling in a straight line change if a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the objects velocity?

If a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the object's velocity, the object's velocity will increase over time. This is because the force accelerates the object in the same direction as its motion, causing it to speed up.


What will happen to an object if a force pushes it in the same direction as it motion?

The object's speed will increase, accelerating in the same direction as the force.


How about if the object is already in motion how will the unbalanced force affect its motion?

The unbalanced force will change the object's motion by causing it to accelerate in the direction of the force. If the unbalanced force is acting in the opposite direction of the object's motion, it will slow down the object. If the force is acting in the same direction as the object's motion, it will speed up the object.


A force acting on an object does no work if?

the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.


What kind of motion occurs when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?

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.
