Are there any forces acting on you in the direction you are moving?

Maybe, maybe not. Forces don't happen because you're moving ... forces are what cause you to move. If there are no forces acting on you, then you keep moving whichever way you're moving, and your speed or direction don't change. If there are forces acting on you, then your speed and/or direction can change. If the force is in the same direction that you're already moving, you'll move faster (accelerate). If the force is in the direction opposite to the direction you're moving, then your speed will decrease. Does any of this sound surprising ???

When are all the forces acting upon an object balanced?
when the system is at equilibrium or when you are not moving in any direction at all
Can an object that has balanced forces acting on it be standing still?
If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.
What must be true about the forces acting on an object if the motion of the object is static?
The forces must be greater in one direction than in the opposing direction, and therefore, must be sufficient to overcome inertia, friction, and any other force that opposes a change in speed.
If a car is moving to the left with constant velocity are thera any forces acting on it?
When you say 'moving to the left' I presume you mean with a degree of left turn of the steering wheel rather than the car has turned into a left hand direction and is now moving straight ahead in the new direction. In which case, yes, there is force acting on it. Newton's first law dictates that there must be, otherwise it would not continue to change direction. The force comes from the ground which pushes against the tyres.
Are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced?
are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced
What is an example where at least 2 forces are operating but the object they operate on is not moving?
when any object is not moving there is at least two forces acting on it.....there are actually probably more. think of a ball....if one force is "pushing" it from behind and another force of the same strength is "pushing" it in the other direction from the front....then the object can't move.
Does an object moving in a constant speed in a straight line have any forces acting on it?
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity
An object is moving with constant velcity and it is not accelering. Can it have any forces acting on it?
Yes, that's possible, as long as the vector sum of all such forces is zero.
What is the relationship of forces acting on a body?
The forces are vectors, the vectors are added together, therefore forces acting against each other will cancel each other out, forces acting in the same direction will add up. For forces acting in different directions you can use Pythagorean theorem to add them up. The sum is what gives the body an acceleration, depending on it's mass. ( F=m*a )
When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object what will happen to an object that is moving?
If two forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, then the net force acting on the object is zero. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object's velocity will not change. If it is already moving, then it will continue to move in a straight line at that same velocity. If it is not already moving, it will stay stationary.
Can there be forces that act on a car moving in a straight line with constant speed?
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
What is resultant force of number of balanced forces acting on a body?
The resultant force of a number of balanced forces acting on a body is zero force. The reason is because any force in one direction is always canceled out by another equal force but in the opposite direction. This is what is meant by balanced forces. For every force in the positive direction, there is also an equal negative force in the negative direction. So the forces all add up to Zero. No net force at all.
