No. The ball in a roulette wheel, a Baseball, and a Golf-ball are all moving and
all under the influence of gravity, but all executing very different patterns of
speed and direction.

What do the speed and dirction of a moving object determine for that object?

The speed and direction of a moving object determine its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed and direction of motion of an object.


In what direction does the force of gravity act on an object moving radially outward from the center of a planet?

The force of gravity acts in the opposite direction of the object's movement, pulling it back towards the center of the planet.


How do you change the direction that an object is moving?

To change the direction that an object is moving, you will need to apply a force in the opposite direction to the object's current motion. This force can be applied by pushing or pulling the object or by using external forces such as friction or gravity to alter its trajectory. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the force, you can change the object's movement.


When a body is thrown up the force of gravity goes in which direction?

The force of gravity is always in the same direction ... toward the center of mass of the other mass that's involved ... whether or not the body is in motion, regardless of what direction it may be moving, and regardless of whether or not you throw up.


What force can change a moving object?

A force such as friction, gravity, or a push/pull from another object can change the motion of a moving object by slowing it down, speeding it up, or changing its direction.


What average of how fast an object is moving and its direction?

The average speed of an object moving in a specific direction is calculated by finding the mean of the magnitude of its velocities in various directions. This involves taking into account both the speed and the direction of the object's motion to determine an overall average.


How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?

During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.


What is the direction of velocity in a moving object?

The direction of velocity in a moving object indicates the speed and the direction in which the object is moving. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction.


Which gravity speeds up a moving object?

Gravity will speed up a force if gravity acts in the same direction as the object is already moving - for example, if the object is already moving downward - and if counterforces (such as air resistance) don't interfere too much.


What are the forces acting on a moving object?

The forces acting on a moving object include: gravity, friction, air resistance, and any applied forces such as pushing or pulling. These forces can affect the speed, direction, and motion of the object.


How can you find the direction of a moving object?

Determine the position of the object at two different times. The vector joining the first with the second of those positions points in the direction of the objects motion.


What determines the terminal velocity of an object?

Gravity and drag. Gravity accelerates the object and drag (caused by friction) slows it down. When the full effect of these two forces have been applied to an object, that object is said to have reached terminal velocity. A combination of mass, the size of the leading surface area and the shape of the object determine it's velocity. Example: A man with a closed parachute falls faster than a man with an open parachute.
