When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the change in the object's _______ or _______ depends on the size and direction of the force.
A.
position; mass
B.
direction; mass
C.
mass; speed
D.
speed; direction
Come to a stop
The answer is D SPEED AND DISTANCE.
The correct answer is C. mass; speed.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the change in the object's motion depends on the size and direction of the force. More specifically, the force affects the object's acceleration, which is directly proportional to the net force applied to it. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is given by the formula:
acceleration = net force / mass
The force and the mass are inversely proportional to each other, meaning that a larger force will result in a greater acceleration, while a smaller force will result in a smaller acceleration. The speed of the object can then change due to its acceleration over time. So, the change in the object's mass affects its acceleration, while the change in its speed depends on the resultant acceleration.
