Therefore, if the sense of touch is functioning normally and there is a complete absence of spatial awareness in a psychically-blind person when the eyes are closed and an object is handled, the conclusion seems unavoidable that touch by itself cannot focus and take possession of the third-dimensionality of things and that actual sight or visual representations are necessary.

The name " Alaska " ( Аляска ) was already introduced in the Russian colonial period, when it was used only for the peninsula and is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning " the mainland " or, more literally, " the object towards which the action of the sea is directed ".

The area may also be provided with additional data during the running of the object program by means of EDMOV or move macro-instructions.

The position of each object in any particular image relates to the position of that object in the previous and following images so that the objects each appear to fluidly move independently of one another.

To find an object, such as globular cluster NGC 6712, one does not need to look up the RA and Dec coordinates in a book, and then move the telescope to those numerical readings.

Rather, the object is chosen from the database and arrow markers appear in the display which indicate the direction to move the telescope.

Users outline the wanted path in Bézier curves, and the application creates the needed frames for the object to move along the path.

For example, all types of potential energy are converted into kinetic energy when the objects are given freedom to move to different position ( as for example, when an object falls off a support ).

If a laser is swept across a distant object, the spot of laser light can easily be made to move across the object at a speed greater than c. Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object can be made to move across the object faster than c. In neither case does the light travel from the source to the object faster than c, nor does any information travel faster than light.

In special relativity, it is impossible to accelerate an object to the speed of light, or for a massive object to move at the speed of light.

However, it permits distortions in spacetime that allow an object to move faster than light from the point of view of a distant observer.

Other verbs ( such as ' look at ', ' wash the dishes ', ' yell ', ' flirt ') are inflected into the unrealized inceptive aspect similarly: the hands used in the base sign move in an arc from in front of the trunk to the initial posture of the underlying verb sign while inhaling, dropping the jaw, and directing eye gaze toward the verb's object ( if any ), but subsequent movements and postures are dropped as the posture and breath are held.

Hence, with respect to an inertial frame, an object or body accelerates only when a physical force is applied, and ( following Newton's first law of motion ), in the absence of a net force, a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue to move uniformly — that is, in a straight line and at constant speed.

But in a frame rotating about a fixed axis, the object appears to move in a circle, and is subject to centripetal force ( which is made up of the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force ).

When a force ( push or pull ) is applied to an object, that object starts to move.
