The object will move if the net force amounts to a greater momentum than the force that is keeping that object at rest.

What happens to the energy can impart when applying a force to an object?

If the object moves, then the energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the object. If it doesn't move, then no energy is imparted to it. If the force is applied by a human or animal, then the energy expended by the muscles to develop the force is radiated from the body as heat.


The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal?

When an object is not accelerating or decelerating, it has a net force of zero.


Why is an object going in a circular motion constantly accelerating?

This is not strictly true; an object in orbit, going in a circular motion, at least from a human perspective, is not accelerating. However, any object going in a circular motion that is not orbiting another object is being contained in a circle artificially, either by a tether or by thrust, that would go in a straight line if no other force were acting on it, is experiencing "acceleration," which is not necessarily "going faster" as might be assumed.


Why is motion possible?

That question would really be tough to answer, because perpetual motion is not possible.


Explain differences between contact and noncontact?

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with itexample:A human body's weight is a non-contact force exerted by the Earth on their massa contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other.exampleAn example of contact force commonly encountered in college-level physics is the force between two masses A and B which are lying next to each other and a force F

Where does the sneeze start in the human body?

something that is inside the nasal canal causes irritation to the nerves and causes the canal to want to expel it. The way the the nasal expels the object is through an excessive force of outward air from the lungs through the nasal canal.

What is the let -go-threshold?

The maximum level of electricity whereby a human has the ability to release their hands from an electrified object. Once this threshold is passed the electricity causes the hand to contract involuntarily and you can not release the object until the electricity is terminated or another force pulls your hand away.

Gravity is a force which?

Every object has a (small) gravitational force that attracts other objects. The proportion of the Earth - human is so large that we sense this attraction force of the Earth. Gravity is the force which makes our feet stick to the ground!


If you push a crate at constant velocity how do you know how much friction acts on the crate compared to your pushing force?

When an object moves at a constant velocity, all forces acting on it must add up to zero. In the case of the crate on a horizontal surface, where the pushing force is directly horizontal (not down and horizontal), then the human push force must be equal and opposite to the friction force. In the case where the plane is inclined and/or where the human force isn't directly along the surface, we need to know the angles, component-ize all forces (human push force, normal force, friction, and weight), balance forces in the direction perpendicular to the plane (so it will not sink through the plane), and balance forces parallel to the plane (if it is to move at a constant velocity).


How do you make a substance that is more dense than water float?

Spread out the weight of the object until the force of the object pressing down on the water in any one spot is less than the force/resistance of the water pushing up. For example, a human can not stand on water, but a human can stand on a piece of plywood that is laying on the water and not get wet. The plywood effectively spreads out the weight of the person until the combined downward force of the person/plywood in any one location is less that the upward force of the water.
