What happens to an object moving in the opposite direction of the net force?

Yes. For a complete understading, Newton's Second Law (F=ma, force = mass x acceleration) should really be understood to be a law relating vector quantities; mass is a scalar, but both force and acceleration are vectors. And if you multiply a vector by a scalar, you get another vector in the same direction.

Wiki User

What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the opposite direction to the movement?
Since the opposite force is the strongest the object will tend to change direction of the object.Thats one of the effects of force.
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
What happens when an unbalanced acts on an odject?
Statinory object can be moved. Moving object can be stopped. Direction of a moving object can be changed.etc.
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.

Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?
The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?
If the positive direction was defined at the outset as the direction opposite to the direction in which the object happens to be moving just now, and the object is slowing down, then the acceleration is positive because, algebraically, the object's speed is increasing in the positive direction.
What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
How can a moving object be slowed?
By applying a force to it in the direction opposite to its motion.
What happens when an unbalanced acts on an odject?
Statinory object can be moved. Moving object can be stopped. Direction of a moving object can be changed.etc.
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
Can a force stop a moving object?
any force opposite the direction of motion
What is neccassary to stop a moving object?
A force applied to it in the direction opposite to its motion is.
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
