What must be applied to an object to change its direction?
A force must be applied to an object in order to change its direction. By exerting a force at an angle to the object's initial direction of motion, the object will change its path and move in a different direction.
What term would describe someone who has the ability to change the direction of his body quickly?
To change abruptly from one direction to another, not only must you have a high rate of change of speed (acceleration), but you must also have a high rate of change of acceleration, called jerk (also known as jolt). Therefore, you would say Tim has a lot of jerk.
Is acceleration due to change in direction?
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, and is a result of a force being applied on the object in question. Acceleration will not always result in an object changing direction, but it is capable of it (in the case of centripetal acceleration, all it does is change the direction.) Acceleration is a vector, therefore a direction must always be given when a value is stated.
What must happen for an object that is already moving to change its speed or direction?
For an object to change its speed or direction, a force must be applied to it. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how the object's speed or direction changes. This change in motion is described by Newton's laws of motion.
What must change when a body is accelerating?
A moving body can be accelerated by applying a force. This force will act to increase velocity, decrease velocity or change the direction the body is moving. All three of these are acceleration.

What must be changed in order to change the motion of an object?
To change the motion of an object, one must apply a force to it. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how the motion changes. More force will cause a greater change in motion, and changing the direction of the force will also change the direction of motion.
If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, a force must be applied in the opposite direction of its motion to slow it down and a force must be applied in the desired direction of its new path to change its direction. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how much the speed or direction changes.
What changes direction when it meets a continent?
We know that ocean currents change direction when meeting a continent. The water must flow around the land, so it has to change direction to do that.
What actions are required of power boat a when approaching starboard side of the sail boat?
The overtaking vessel must always give way. Therefore the powerboat must be prepared to stop or change direction - the sailboat has right of way.
A moving body must undergo a change in?
A moving body must undergo a change in its velocity to show acceleration. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction so any change in speed, direction, or both constitutes a change in velocity, resulting in acceleration.
What must be applied to a objects in order change the objects motion or direction?
A force must be applied to an object in order to change its motion or direction. This force can be in the form of a push or pull exerted on the object. The magnitude and direction of the force applied will determine how the object's motion changes.
Why is an electric field strength a vector quantity?
for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
