Apply a force (rockets, recoil, gravity, etc.)
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to oppose the motion of the falling object, so there is no force acting to limit its acceleration and reach terminal velocity. As a result, the object will continue to accelerate indefinitely as it falls through the vacuum.
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.
Objects in free fall in a vacuum accelerate due to the force of gravity acting on them. In the absence of air resistance or other external forces, the only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to accelerate at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s^2 towards the Earth's center.
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting upon it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces, and the object will accelerate in the direction of this net force.
It will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force.
A Vacuum.
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to oppose the motion of the falling object, so there is no force acting to limit its acceleration and reach terminal velocity. As a result, the object will continue to accelerate indefinitely as it falls through the vacuum.
Assuming you keep applying a constant force, it will accelerate indefinitely up to the speed of light
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that 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.
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.

Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.
an object can accelerate both up and down
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting upon it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces, and the object will accelerate in the direction of this net force.
