Question
Is any force being applied to an object in a non-uniform motion?
Show answer
Answer
Yes, a force is being applied.
Explanation
- Non-uniform motion means the object's speed (or direction) keeps changing.
- A change in speed or direction can only happen when a force acts.
- So a force must be acting on an object in non-uniform motion.
Changing speed means a force is acting, so yes.
