Why areal velocity is constant in central force?

If the force is constant then this will make the velocity of the object spinning constant as well, and for the velocity to be constant all the forces must be balanced and therefore constant


What is the resulting motion of forces acting on a unbalanced bicycle?

Constant acceleration is the resulting motion of forces acting on an unbalanced bicycle.


What do baoanced forces do to moving objects?

When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.


Forces acting on an object that is not moving are described as this?

It can be said that the net force applied on the object is zero or that the object is in translational equilibrium. Keep in mind that these terms can also be applied if the object is moving at a constant velocity.


How does exerting force keep an object moving at constant velocity?

If it wasn't for forces acting opposing to the direction of motion, an object would continue to move in a given direction at constant speed (constant velocity) indefinitely without the need of a force exerting on it.<br><br>However due to "real world" forces such as friction or air resistance, a force equal and opposite to these opposing forces needs to be applied to an object to keep it moving at constant velocity.<br><br>These are all governed by Newton's Laws of Motion.<br>


Do balanced forces cause motion?

No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.


Can a body have forces applied on it but will not accelerate justify your answer?

Newton's second law states that when forces an unbalanced force is applied to an object it will accelerate in the formula: Fnet=mawhere F is the sum of the forces mass and a is the acceleration.A body can have no acceleration if the sum of all the forces is 0. So therefore forces can be applied, but they must have an equal and opposite force canceling them out. A=F/M so when F is 0, A is 0.So if there is constant velocity on an object it will not accelerate!---------Example:If you keep riding your bike in a certain direction at 5 m/s constantly, there is constant velocity present and no acceleration :D


Can an object in motion if no external forces are acting on it?

yes. external forces ALTER an object's motion... but once it starts moving and has no external forces being applied on it, it will go in a straight line with constant velocity (Newton's 1st Law of Motion)


Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?

It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)


What are the conditions of an object to stay at rest to keep on moving at constant velocity or to move with increasing velocity?

If the sum of all forces on an object is zero, then the object remains in constant velocity. Constant velocity means motion in a straight line at a constant speed. "Rest" is just constant velocity with a speed of zero. If the sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, then the object's velocity must change. The change may consist of speeding up, slowing down, or turning in a different direction. If the sum of the forces is in the same direction as the object's motion, then the object must speed up.


What would the net force be on an object moving at constant velocity?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero


Can all forces of a car be balanced if it is moving a constant velocity?

That's exactly what we must conclude. If the forces on the car were not balanced, then its velocity would have to change.
