Providing that it does not collide with another object, what is the most likely reason that an object moving through space would

change velocity?
Physics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]4 years ago

<em>GRAVITY !</em>

The object doesn't have to collide or even TOUCH something else in order to feel a gravitational force toward it.

If there's a gravitational force between the space object and ANYTHING else, (and there always is !), then that force will change the object's speed or direction of motion.

What does the area between the line and the x-axis represent on a velocity vs. time graph?
Finger [1]

Answer:

It has been learned in this lesson that the area bounded by the line and the axes of a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of an object during that particular time period. ... Once calculated, this area represents the displacement of the object.

needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential ene
Vlad1618 [11]

If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

  <em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ? 

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only  16.5 percent as much on the Moon. 
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
