An object is speeding up if its velocity is increasing over time; this can be determined by observing if the object covers more distance in each subsequent unit of time. Another way to tell is if the object's acceleration is in the same direction as its velocity.

How can you tell if the force on an object are balanced?

If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.


How does the direction of the acceleration along determine if the object is speeding up or slowing down?

Take the component of the acceleration along the direction the object is moving. If this component is positive (the acceleration vector, or the relevant component, points in the same direction as the movement), then the object is speeding up.


An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?

An object that is accelerating is either speeding up or slowing down. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the object is slowing down.


When an object is speeding up through the air are the forces of thrust and drag balanced?

No. This is because the object is speeding up, therefore more force must be acting on one side than on the other. However, if the object was moving at a constant speed or was stationary, then the forces would be balanced.


When an object is speeding up or slowing down or turning what is it called?

When an object is speeding up or slowing down, it is experiencing acceleration. When it is turning, it is undergoing rotation or changing direction.


How do you tell if an energy transfer is kinetic or potential?

An energy transfer is kinetic if it involves movement of an object, like an object speeding up or slowing down. It is potential if it involves stored energy that can be released later, like an object held at a height that can fall due to gravity.


What affect does earths gravity have upon a object entering earth?

In general, it will have the effect of speeding such an object up.


When an object is speeding up to the right what direction is the acceleration?

The acceleration would be in the direction of the object's motion, which is to the right.


Describe the motion of a speeding up object?

A speeding up object accelerates its velocity over time, meaning its speed increases at a steady rate. This is indicative of a positive acceleration, where the object covers more distance in each consecutive time interval.


If a moving object speeds upin what direction is the acceleration?

If a moving object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion.


How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?

If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.


When does an object have no acceleration?

When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.
