An object can speed up when the net force acting on it is in the same direction as its motion. It can slow down when the net force is opposite to its motion. The object can turn in the direction of the net force when the force is applied perpendicular to its motion, causing it to change direction.
What else can I help you with?
What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?
A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.
How does an unbalanced force change speed and direct an object?
An unbalanced force acting on an object can change its speed and direction. If the force is greater than the opposing forces, such as friction or air resistance, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the unbalanced force, the greater the change in speed and direction of the object.
What is needed to change the speed of an object?
To change the speed of an object, you need to apply a force to it. The magnitude of the force and the direction in which it is applied will determine how the speed changes. If the force is in the same direction as the motion, the object will accelerate; if the force opposes the motion, the object will decelerate.
Which a force changes the speed of an object?
A force can change the speed of an object by either accelerating or decelerating it. The direction and magnitude of the force will determine how the object's speed changes - an applied force in the direction of motion will accelerate the object, while a force in the opposite direction will decelerate it.
What type of force can cause a change an objects speed direction or both?
gravitey

An unbalanced force acting on an object can change its speed and direction. If the force is greater than the opposing forces, such as friction or air resistance, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the unbalanced force, the greater the change in speed and direction of the object.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Changing an object's direction without affecting speed requires a force that acts perpendicular to the object's velocity, such as centripetal force or gravitational force. This force causes the object to change direction while continuing at a constant speed. Other forces acting parallel to the object's velocity can change its speed as well as its direction.
What is needed to change the speed of an object?
To change the speed of an object, you need to apply a force to it. The magnitude of the force and the direction in which it is applied will determine how the speed changes. If the force is in the same direction as the motion, the object will accelerate; if the force opposes the motion, the object will decelerate.

How do unbalanced forces affect the speed or direction of an object?
Unbalanced forces cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The speed and direction of the object will change based on the net force acting on it.
What must happen for an object that is already moving to change its speed or direction?
For an object to change its speed or direction, a force must be applied to it. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how the object's speed or direction changes. This change in motion is described by Newton's laws of motion.
What can force do to an object?
force can speed up, slow down, and/or change direction of an object commonly refered to as acceleration
If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, a force must be applied in the opposite direction of its motion to slow it down and a force must be applied in the desired direction of its new path to change its direction. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how much the speed or direction changes.
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.
If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change the speed direction?
To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, an external force is required. This force can come from a push, pull, or any other interaction that can accelerate or decelerate the object in a different direction.
