Mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves, seismic waves) cause objects to move because the waves themselves are mechanical motion of objects.

Electromagnetic waves usually do not move large visible objects, but move electrons, atoms, and molecules because they respond to the moving electric field of the wave. This can cause electric currents in the object or heating of the object.

An object floating on the surface when a wave passes?

== == == == The object is moving the speed of the water, not the speed of the wave. Example: when you are riding in a car, you are moving the the speed of the car not the speed of the bump in the road. The bumps in the water are mostly caused by wind & are like bumps in the road, but these bumps move. in an ellipse


How can you move and not move at the same time?

One possible way to move and not move at the same time is by standing still on a moving object, like a train or a conveyor belt. Even though the object you're on is moving, you are not actively moving yourself relative to that object.


Can an object continue to move if there is no force on it in the direction in which its moving?

Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.


Can an object move without acceleration?

Yes. An object cannot begin to move without acceleration, but once it's moving, it needs no further acceleration to continue moving.


What effect do forces have on a moving object?

Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.

What force can cause an object at rest to move or it can accelerate an object that is already moving?

Any force.


What is the average speed of an object moving constant in a circle?

An object can move in a circle at different speeds.


A force can make moving objects?

A force will cause a moving object to continue moving. It will also cause the object to move farther and faster until friction slows it down.


What happens when there is no stop time for a moving object?

When there is no stop time for a moving object, it will continue to move indefinitely without slowing down or coming to a stop.
