7 If an object has no acceleration can you conclude that no forces are exerted on it?

No. There may be forces on the body but they are balanced so that the net force is zero. For example a plate on a table is not accelerating but there is a gravity force towards the earth and the table creates a balancing force. Thus the plate just sets there not accelerating. This Newton's Third Law in action.

∙ 14y agoNo. There may be a number of forces acting on it, but they may be canceling each other out.
You can say that the net force acting on the object is zero.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoZero net force ===> Zero acceleration.

∙ 7y agoIn that case, the sum of forces on the object is zero.

What is the relationship among force and acceleration?
the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a) is the force (f) exerted on the object. f=ma
What is the ratio of the net force exerted on an object and its acceleration?
inertial mass
The forces of an object depends on the force exerted on what?
Mass
What does the unbalanced force exerted on object at rest?
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.
How can forces acting on an object be unbalanced?
If the sum of the forces on an object do not equal zero, then the object will experience acceleration.
When a force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?
Changing the magnitude or direction of forces exerted on an object changes the net force (sum of all forces) exerted on the object. The net force exerted on an object is defined as mass times acceleration (F = ma), where mass, m, is constant. This means that when the net force exerted on the object changes in magnitude (or direction), its acceleration will also change in magnitude (or direction). In addition, acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, so when the magnitude (or direction) of acceleration changes, the magnitude (or direction) of velocity will also change.
Which Newton laws of motion describes how the forces exerted on an object its mass and its acceleration of related?
His Second Law.
The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?
an object's mass
When a force is exerted on an object an equal and opposite force is exerted by the object. These forces are referred to as?
Action-Reaction Forces.
What can be calculated by dividing the force exerted on the object by the mass of the object?
That's the object's acceleration.
The force exerted by a scale on an object is the?
The force exerted on a scale by an object and other forces acting.
When an object has balanced forces exerted on it the object is?
un-accelerated
How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affects it's motions?
Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
What is the relationship among force and acceleration?
the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a) is the force (f) exerted on the object. f=ma
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object 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.
What is the ratio of the net force exerted on an object and its acceleration?
inertial mass
How do unbalanced forces acting on an object its motion?
Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
