No. Acceleration is. You don't need any force in order to have unaccelerated motion.

Yes, balanced forces don't have any motion, but I'm not sure if they would have a constant velocity.

Never. It would get accelerated and so no constant velocity

Unbalanced forces DO change the motion of an object. Unbalanced is like tug-of-war, where one team is stronger. Meaning if the other team holds on to the rope, they'll be dragged forward.

How does an unbalanced force affect a moving object at a constant velocity?

If the group of forces on an object is unbalanced, then the object can't have constant velocity. Its speed or the direction of its motion must change.


Does unbalanced forces maintain motion at constant velocity?

No. If the forces on an object are unbalanced, that means their sum is not zero, and there is a net force on the object. Since there is a net force on it, the object is accelerated, which is another way of saying that its velocity changes.


What happens to the velocity of an object when balanced force act on it?

The velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force.


What are objects remain at constant velocity unless an unless an unbalanced force acts?

An object in motion.


What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?

An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.


What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it?

There will by no change in the mass, which is constant, but the unbalanced force will cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration can be in a positive direction or a negative direction ("deceleration"), or it can be circular, in which the acceleration changes constantly, even if the velocity remains constant.


What law that states that every object maintain constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force?

Newton's 1st law'


Does newtons second law state that if an unbalanced force acts on an object it will move at constant velocity?

It can accelerate or decelerate, depending on the direction of force


Is an object in motion if the acceleration is zero?

Acceleration just means that something is getting faster at a constant pace. If the object was at rest it would have a constant velocity. If the object was then acted upon by and unbalanced force, the velocity would change and no longer be constant. However if an object is just moving along (balanced force of air resistance, gravity, and friction) then it would be at a constant velocity, also. In motion or at rest and object can have zero acceration.


An unbalanced force can cause an object to change its speed and or?

The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.


The change in an object velocity?

a change in a objects velocity is caused by a unbalanced force :)


Which of the following changes when an unbalanced force acts on an object?
