Best Answer

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.

If an object has air in it then it will try to float in mid-air but, it will get stuck in the water.

What are the different effects of forces on object?

force can change the shape and size of an object force can change the direction of an moving object force can make a stationary object move and make a moving object move faster force can slow down or completely stop a moving 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.

Communicate with a friend to move an object when you look at the friend or at the object. Moving objects just by looking at them is not reality it is fantasy.

What object can move with least force to move a distance of 5 meters?

There is no fundamental relationship between the distance an object moves and the force applied to it. Once an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving, and the distance it can move without applied force is unlimited.


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


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

An object can move in a circle at different speeds.
