That could be one description of "force" or "net force."

Notice that it can also change the direction in which an object is moving,

without changing its speed at all.

How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?

It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.


What forces enable an object to be in motion?

If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.


What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?

An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.


How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?

The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.


What do you know about the motion of an object that has an average speed of 1 m?

its slow


What is the effect of frictionon the motion of an object?

Friction universally counteracts the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.


When an object increases in temperature do the particles speed up or slow down?

They speed up. Heat is actually molecular motion. Absolute zero (−459.67°F) is the temperature where the particles have no motion at all.


Can help slow down or stop the motion of an object?

Friction


What three ways do unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion?

speed, slow down or change direction or some combination thereof.


What effect does friction have on motion?

Friction causes object in motion to slow down. As friction increases, it takes more and more energy for an object to keep its inertia (momentum) and it begins to slow down.


Does water resistance speed up moving objects?

No, it would slow objects down. Resistance implies that the water is acting against the object's motion, slowing it down.


How can you make the object speed up or slow down?

Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same directionthat it's moving.-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.
