A net force, that is in units of pounds force, or Newtons. See Newton's laws of motion.

What happensto the speed of an object if a unbalanced force acts on it?

Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.


If an unbalanced force acts on an object what could change?

If an unbalanced force acts on an object, it could cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the force, change its speed or direction of motion, or cause the object's shape to deform if the force is strong enough.


What happens to the speed of an object as an unbalanced force acts on it?

When an unbalanced force acts on an object, it will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the force. This acceleration will cause the speed of the object to change over time, either increasing or decreasing depending on the direction of the force.


What type of force can cause a change an objects speed direction or both?

What are the changes produced by force?

Force can cause an object to change its speed or direction. A force causes acceleration, as given by Newton's equation F=ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Acceleration occurs when something either changes direction, like a tether ball is accelerating when it goes around the pole, or when the objects speeds up or slows down..The more mass an object has, the harder it is to move, stop, or change the speed or direction of the object.An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it. An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it.An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it.

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.

A force can cause an object to change its speed and or direction?

A force can cause an object to change its speed or direction. A force causes acceleration, as given by Newton's equation F=ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Acceleration occurs when something either changes direction, like a tether ball is accelerating when it goes around the pole, or when the objects speeds up or slows down.Forces give energy to the object it is acting on.The more mass an object has, the harder it is to move, stop, or change the speed or direction of the object.An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it.An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it.unbalanced

Does speed change when an unbalanced force acts on an object?

Yes, because Newton 2nd law states that F=ma. When an unbalanced force acts upon a mass, there will be acceleration, the changing of speed over a period of time.


An object will move at a constant speed in a straight line until?

an external force acts on it, causing a change in its speed or direction.


What is insertia?

inertia the tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.


How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?

It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.


What acts on a object to make the object change direction speed or both?

A force acts on an object to make it change its direction, speed, or both. Forces can be caused by interactions such as pushes, pulls, gravity, friction, and tension. The net force acting on an object determines the resulting motion it experiences.
