Acceleration is a rate of change of motion. It's usually measured in x squared, or x per second, per second. Acceleration may be a rate of change (not a change, a rate of change) such as: Zero to 50 miles per hour may be ten miles per second, per second. The first second, he was going 10 mph...the second second he was going 20 mph... the 3rd second he's going 30 miles per hour.... So...the acceleration is 10 exponent 2 or 10 miles per second squared. For acceleration to happen, an object must continue to increase it's speed. It has to go 10 then 20 then 30 then 40 then 50 miles per hour to accelerate. A RATE of change of speed.

What can happen when an unbalanced force interacts with an object?

Then the object will accelerate.


What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?

A non-moving object in equilibrium does not accelerate or change velocity. It remains stationary and experiences no net force acting on it.


What happends when an inmoveable object meets an unstopeble object?

That will never happen - it can't happen actually. Any time you apply a force to an object, it will accelerate - its velocity will change.


What will happen to an object that has unbalanced force acting on it?

If an object has an unbalanced force acting on it, it will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The object will experience a change in velocity and will continue to accelerate as long as the force remains unbalanced.


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.


An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


Is it harder to accelerate a moving object?

No, it is not harder to accelerate a moving object. The initial motion of the object does not affect the force required to accelerate it further. The force required to accelerate an object depends on its mass and the desired acceleration.


A net force causes an object to?

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.


A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?

... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.


What are the requirements for an object to accelerate?

Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.


How are objects able to accelerate?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.


In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?

an object can accelerate both up and down
