An unequal applied force. That's is it.

For example, a force (measured in Newtons(N)) applied to one side of an object will equal that objects mass (M) multiplied by its acceleration(a)

Thus F(N)=M*a

An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?

An object's tendency to resist acceleration is measured by its inertia, which is the property of matter that causes an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The greater an object's mass, the greater its inertia and resistance to acceleration.


Is inertia what causes acceleration?

No, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate of change of an object's velocity. Forces, such as pushes or pulls, are what typically cause acceleration.


What MUST be true about an object's acceleration as it is traveling in the positive direction and slowing down?

The object's acceleration must be in the negative direction, opposing its velocity in the positive direction. This negative acceleration is also known as deceleration and causes the object to slow down.


What force causes something to accelerate or decelerate?

Acceleration or deceleration is caused by a net force acting on an object. When the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, it causes acceleration. When the net force is in the opposite direction, it causes deceleration.


What is the force of acceleration?

The force of acceleration is the force that causes an object to change its velocity or speed. It is calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma). The greater the force of acceleration applied to an object, the greater the change in its velocity.

How are acceleration and force the same?

Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.


Does distance affect the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?

The only thing that causes or influences acceleration of an object is force.

What is needed to cause the object at rest to move or an object in motion to change the direction or speed?

Force, which causes acceleration


Does every force causes acceleration?

No, not every force causes acceleration. For an object to accelerate, the force acting on it must not be balanced by an equal and opposite force. If the forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.


The acceleration of an object varies directly as the force acting on it If a force of 240 newtons causes an acceleration of 150 ms². what force will cause an acceleration of 100 ms2?

240N causes= 150a xN causes= 100a X= 240*100\150 = 160N


Is acceleration the result of balanced and unbalanced force?

Acceleration is the result of unbalanced forces acting on an object. When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, there is a net force that causes the object to accelerate. Balanced forces, on the other hand, result in no acceleration as the forces cancel each other out.


What must happen to an object to accelerate?

An object must experience a net force in order to accelerate. This force causes the object to change its speed, direction, or both, resulting in acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object.
