Moving objects accelerate by experiencing a net force acting on them, according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). This force causes the object to change its velocity, either by speeding up or slowing down. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to its mass.

Why do moving body accelerate?

Not all moving objects accelerate. In general, an object will accelerate if there is a net force acting on it. For a ball in the air, this might be gravitation + air resistance; for a moving car (once you turn the engine off) it might be the force of friction; etc.


Objects that do not accelerate?

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.


Why do objects accelerate on ramps?

Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.


When a projectile is moving up what is moving downward?

When a projectile is moving up, gravity is pulling it downward. Gravity is a force that acts on all objects, causing them to accelerate towards the center of the earth.


In what direction do objects travel in a circular path accelerate?

Objects traveling in a circular path accelerate towards the center of the circle due to centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is needed to keep the object moving in a curved path.


What are the examples of objects that change in velocity thus accelerate?

A car that is speeding up; a car slowing down; anything moving in a circle, such as planets moving around the Sun (orbits are approximately circular).


At what rate does gravity cause objects to accelerate?

Gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.


Is it harder to accelerate a moving object?

No, it is not harder to accelerate a moving object. The initial motion of the object does not affect the force required to accelerate it further. The force required to accelerate an object depends on its mass and the desired acceleration.


What causes objects to accelerate?

Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.


Can a magnetic field accelerate a moving charge?

Yes, a magnetic field can accelerate a moving charge through a force known as the Lorentz force.


How are objects able to accelerate?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.


Does moving objects have impulse?

yes moving objects have impulse
