Admin What does a moving object do unless an unbalanced force acts on it?
An object in motion will maintain it’s speed and direction forever unless acted on by an unbalanced force. The only way to change its direction or accelerate in one direction or another direction, would be to have an unbalanced force.
What happens to the velocity of an object when experiencing a constant unbalanced force?
Forces, when unbalanced, cause objects to accelerate. And the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the force. Forces, when balanced, result in an object either remaining at rest (if at rest) or continuing in motion (if in motion) at a constant velocity.
What causes a moving object to continue moving at the same velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on it?
Inertia causes a moving object to stay in motion at the same velocity (speed and direction) unless a force acts on it to change its speed or direction. It also causes an object at rest to stay at rest. When the car hit the wall (unbalanced force), the car stopped moving, but the man kept moving because of inertia.
What describes the tendency of a moving object to continue moving at the same velocity *?
Inertia is a force which keeps stationary objects at rest and moving objects in motion at constant velocity.
When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a speed?
If an object experiences no net force, its velocity will remain constant. The object is either at rest and the velocity is zero, or it moves in a straight line with a constant speed.
What happens to the motion of objects with a certain velocity?
If a push or a pull force was put on them. According to newton’s FIRST law of motion, what will happen to the motion of objects moving with a certain velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on them? They will continue to move with the same velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on them.
What is the state of motion of an object at rest?
An object at rest has zero velocity – and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object in motion with a velocity of 2 m/s, East will (in the absence of an unbalanced force)…
What is the state of motion of 2 m/s?
Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object in motion with a velocity of 2 m/s, East will (in the absence of an unbalanced force) remain in motion with a velocity of 2 m/s, East.
What happens when one object exerts a force on another object?
Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Explain why Newton’s third law can be stated as “all forces act in pairs.”
