If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, a force must be applied in the opposite direction of its motion to slow it down and a force must be applied in the desired direction of its new path to change its direction. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how much the speed or direction changes.
An object can speed upslow down or turn in the direction of the net force when?
An object can speed up when the net force acting on it is in the same direction as its motion. It can slow down when the net force is opposite to its motion. The object can turn in the direction of the net force when the force is applied perpendicular to its motion, causing it to change direction.
What occurs whenever an object is acted upon by an unbalanced force?
When an object is acted upon by an unbalanced force, it experiences acceleration in the direction of the force. This change in motion can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The object's velocity and ultimately its position will change as a result of this acceleration.
How does force affect the motion and speed of an object?
As Newton's laws state, the greater the force, the more an object will accelerate or slow down. The force in the opposite direction of motion is called friction. So if you have a 3Kg block travelling at 2m/s, with a friction of 1m/s you will need at least 5N to keep it going. The more force you apply, the faster the block will travel, so it accelerates. The less force you apply the more it slows down and eventually stops because the friction is greater than the force applied. An object that travels in a uniform direction at a uniform speed (Newtons 1st law) will continue traveling in the same way and in the same direction (inertia) unless acted upon by a resultant force (friction).
What can force do to an object?
force can speed up, slow down, and/or change direction of an object commonly refered to as acceleration
What will be the answer toAn object acted upon a force will what in the same direction of the force?
An object acted on by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. Be careful, though, as this doesn't mean it will actually MOVE in the direction of the force. It may just slow down, etc.

An object can speed up when the net force acting on it is in the same direction as its motion. It can slow down when the net force is opposite to its motion. The object can turn in the direction of the net force when the force is applied perpendicular to its motion, causing it to change direction.
What occurs when unbalance force are acting on an object?
An object will continue to travel at constant speed unless acted on by an unbalanced force, and for every force acted on there is an equal opposite reaction in the other way. So the speed and direction of the object will be changed.Source(s):F=MA
When does an objects motion change?
The motion of an object will change when it is acted on by some force. This force will speed it up, slow it down, change its direction of motion or perhaps cause it to spin. All thses changes of motion are response to the force acting on the object. This is Newton's first law: An object in motion will continue in motion (and in the same direction) unless acted on by some force. Some might call this the law of inertia.

When an object is acted upon by an unbalanced force, it experiences acceleration in the direction of the force. This change in motion can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The object's velocity and ultimately its position will change as a result of this acceleration.

How do unbalanced forces change the speed?
Unbalanced forces can change the speed of an object by causing it to accelerate in the direction of the greater force. If the unbalanced force is in the direction of motion, the object will speed up. If it is in the opposite direction, the object will slow down or even come to a stop.
What happens if you throw a rock where gravity and friction have no influence?
If gravity and friction have no influence, the rock would continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed due to its inertia. It would not slow down or change direction unless acted upon by an external force.
What can speed up or slow down a moving object?
Factors that can speed up a moving object include applying a force in the direction of motion and reducing friction. Factors that can slow down a moving object include applying a force in the opposite direction of motion and increasing friction.
What happens to an object that is moving at constant speed when a force is applied?
When a force is applied to an object moving at constant speed, the object will either change direction or accelerate in the direction of the force. If the force is parallel to the initial direction of motion, the object may speed up or slow down depending on the direction of the force.
