Want this question answered?
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, it means that the net force on the object is zero. In this case, the object will either remain at rest if it was initially at rest, or it will continue to move with a constant velocity if it was already in motion.
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
Balanced force -> Zero net force -> Zero acceleration (stays at rest or constant velocity)
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.
If the net force on an object is zero, then the object is in equilibrium. This means there are balanced forces acting upon it, or none at all.
Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is also called the law of inertia. So, the forces acting on an object are balanced when the object is not accelerating. This happens when the object is at rest, or when the object is moving at constant velocity. ===================== The forces on an object are balanced when their vector sum is zero.
No. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the forces are balanced, their sum (net force) will be zero, and the object will either be at rest or be moving at constant velocity in a straight line. If the vector sum of the forces is greater or less than zero, then the object will be accelerating, which means it will be undergoing a change in motion.
Balanced forces describes when all forces on an object are equal. Unbalanced forces describes when the forces on an object are unequal, resulting in movement. Forces are balanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, at which point the object will be at rest or be in motion with constant velocity. Forces are unbalanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is greater or less than zero, at which point the object will accelerate by either starting motion from rest, or changing its motion if it is already in motion, for example, by changing direction or speed.
It means the resulant forces acting on the object is zero..and so the object will gain the uniform velocity or it will become momentially stopped i.e. it will attain the rest condition..
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
Yes, balanced forces will keep an object at rest.
