What are some examples that are not examples of centripetal acceleration?

An object moving at a constant velocity in a straight line. An object at rest or moving at a constant speed in a circular path. An object moving in a straight line with no change in direction.


If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?

If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.


What causes a moving object to continue in a straight line?

An object will continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force to change its direction or speed. This is described by Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless a force is applied to it.


What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if the forces acting on it are balanced?

If the forces acting on an object are balanced and the object is moving at a constant speed, the object will continue to move at that constant speed in a straight line. There will be no change in the object's velocity or direction of motion.


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.

Does a moving object travel in a line until a force changes its direction?

Yes. A moving object travels in a straight line at constant speed until a net force acts on it. However, the direction will only change if the force is in a different direction then the motion.


What will an object in straight-line motion tend to do?

An object in motion tends to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed,unless an external force acts on it to change its direction or speed.

What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?

the force or other moving object

Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?

Yes, an unbalanced force can change an object's motion by causing it to accelerate or decelerate in the direction of the force. It can also change the object's direction or speed depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


If you change the velocity of a moving object you change the?

Speed or direction or both.


What force causes object to change direction?

gravity (up to down) friction


How can you describe an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or curved around another object?

An object moving in a straight line maintains a constant direction from its starting point. An object moving in a curved trajectory is following a path that is not straight and may be influenced by another object's gravitational pull or magnetic field.
