Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


What is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?

Not necessarily. In our atmosphere, of course, we have friction due to the object displacing air, or if it is moving on some kind of wheel we have bearing friction, wheels (or what-have-you) against the road surface, etc. If the path or speed of the object is changing, then there is a force acting on it. Like the space station orbiting the Earth.


True or false work is done only when an object moves in the direction of the applied force?

true!


What causes objects to move or moveing objects to stop moveing?

Motion can only be changed when a force is applied. This may be due to an acceleration field (such as gravity) and the mass of the object, or the force may be applied directly and externally by a second object.


An applied force and a frictional force act on an object The object accelerates in the direction of the applied force Which of the following describe how the frictional force compares to the applied?

We're forced to go out on a limb here and propose an answer without benefit ofthe "following" list of choices, since, apparently, the question was automaticallytruncated and the choices were lost. It's a shame you went to all that trouble tocopy the choices along with the question, only to see them deleted by some nasty 'bot'.Since the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force, the net force on it ...equal to the vector sum of the applied force and the friction force ... must point inthe direction of the applied force, and so the frictional force must be less than theapplied force.

If the friction equals the force why the object moves. why it doesn't stop?

Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force


Who For work to happen the only requirements for force to be applied to an object and the object must feel pressure yes or no?

No. Force must be applied and the point of application of the force must move. Work = force x distance.


What happen when you apply a force on an object in space?

It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.


When a force is applied that moves an object in the direction of the applied force is gravity done?

Gravity is indeed a force, but only one out of many. magnetic, frictional, mechanical ... . When an ordinary force applied to an object, (me pushing my wheelbarrow) this would not be considered as being affected by gravity.

Which property of an object could be changed if that object traveled to anther planet?

only the mass will change, the mass is the force applied by an object.


Can Newton's 2 ed law only be applied to a straight line.can it applied to a curved path along the direction of it?

It is a = F/M, and acceleration can be in any direction you want. When a force is applied, the object accelerated only in the direction of that force.

Is there a force that can go against friction?

No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.
