When an unbalanced force acts on an object the motion of the objects changes. Sometimes the object continues to move at the same speed. When that happens, what is it that changes?
a)direction; b)friction; c)mass; d)weight
Any who, Im taking this quiz right now and asked for help well let me tell you its, mass. :) your welcome.
Although this not my main area of expertise, I would say direction.
its .a
In this scenario, if an object continues to move at the same speed despite the presence of an unbalanced force, the factor that changes is the direction of the object's motion.
To understand why, let's look at the concept of balanced and unbalanced forces. When multiple forces act on an object, it is the net force that determines how the object's motion will change. If the net force is zero, meaning the forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity (speed and direction).
However, if there is an unbalanced force acting on the object, the net force is nonzero and will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. Acceleration refers to the change in an object's velocity, which includes both its speed and direction.
Therefore, if an object continues to move at the same speed despite an unbalanced force acting on it, it means that the force is acting perpendicular to the direction of its motion. This force may change the object's direction but not its speed.
In summary, when an unbalanced force acts on an object and its motion continues at the same speed, the factor that changes is the direction of the object's motion (option a).
