Accelerate, assuming that there is a net force acting upon the object. This means that the force you exert upon an object is not matched by any other force(s) in the opposite direction. Say you push on a wall. The wall will not accelerate because it will push back on you with the same force(Newton's Third Law). So the wall won't go anywhere, because there is zero net force in that system. But if we have a book on a tabletop, it will accelerate, if you can exceed the frictional force. Since the fricitonal force is constant in motion, you can produce a net force on the object, thus causing it to accelerate.

What will be the answer toAn object acted upon a force will what in the same direction of the force?

An object acted on by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. Be careful, though, as this doesn't mean it will actually MOVE in the direction of the force. It may just slow down, etc.


In what directions can an object move when acted on by a force?

it will move the object that the force i pushing it to Example: Force---->Object------> the object is moved in the direction it is being pushed or pulled by the force


What are the3 laws of motion?

1. A still object will remain still until acted upon by an outside force. A moving object will remain moving in the same direction with the same speed until acted upon by an outside force. 2. An object will move in the same direction as the force it was acted on by and will not stop even if the force stops 3. All actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Hopefully this helped


What does newton first law of motion say about object in motion?

The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."


What does Newton's first law of motion say about object in motion?

The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."


Does friction move in the same direction as or in opposite direction as the object?

The force of friction ALWAYS acts in the direction exactly opposite to the directionin which the object is moving.If the friction force acted in the same direction as the object's motion, then youwould want to have as much friction as possible, because that would help youmove the object with less fuel.

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.


What two things need to happen for there to be work done on an object?

If he object moves as a force is applied and the direction of the objects motion is the same as the direction of the same force.


Is Newton's first law of motion?

An object that stays at rest, stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force


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.
