force and motion question

[hueyy-disabled]

I understand the concept of 'force does not keeping an object moving'.

But I really confused with the concept 'force does not cause motion, but cause acceleration'


If force does not cause motion,
then what will be ??

It's a bit poorly stated. The ultimate cause of motion is indeed force. The point is that force is not directly related to motion, only indirectly. Force is directly related to acceleration, the change in motion. Motion is then the result of the past acceleration.

There is no need to repost your query. Your posts are not visible until a monitor has seen and approved them. The forum is a bit slow, so sometimes it can take a while for that to happen. But it does happen eventually.

Gravity is a force that holds you against the ground, or your seat, etc., however, when you are stationary, you still feel the force, but there's no motion.

Only when you are not supported by something will the force of gravity cause the acceleration that becomes motion.
