What do speed and force have in common?

Answer 1

Force is required to accelerate an object and give it speed (in a given direction). When an object is moving (after the force is applied), it will have velocity, which is speed (which itself is distance per unit of time) in a given direction. If a force is applied to the moving object, it will accelerate with a resultant new velocity. Some links are supplied to related articles posted by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.

Answer 2

One way Force and Velocity are alike is, that they are both vectors.

Answer 3

Force is a function of acceleration and mass. If mass remains constant and acceleration increases, force will increase. If acceleration remains constant and mass increases, force will increase.

Answer 4

Speed is how fast you are moving. Acceleration is the rate at which speed is changing.

In strict physical terms, acceleration is the difference between the ending and starting speed divided by the time over which the change occurred. In that sense the word can mean that speed is increasing (positive acceleration), decreasing (negative acceleration), or not changing (zero acceleration). However in common usage, negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.

Acceleration can be calculated as an average (Δv/Δt) or an instantaneous (dv/dt) measurement.

Answer 5

Because their related!

Answer 6

An unbalanced force will cause a change in velocity (but not necessarily a change in speed).
