How do you have zero net force but still have motion?
Force causes acceleration, not motion. A moving object undergoing zero net force will continue to move in the same direction at the same speed.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
What is the net force on an object with constant velocity?
If the object is moving in a straight line, then the net force on it is zero. If the object is not moving in a straight path, then there is some non-zero net force acting on it even if its speed is constant. We don't have enough information to describe the magnitude or direction of the force.
What must you know about an object that is moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
Can an object be moving for ten seconds but still have zero displacement?
yes
Is the net force zero if the object is not moving?
Yes, but an object with net force of zero may still be moving. The net force is zero if the object is not accelerating.
Can an object can be moving if the net force acting on the object is zero?
Absolutely. The key is to realize that a net force of zero on an object means only that it is not accelerating. This means that an object feeling zero net force can either be stationary or moving at constant speed in a straight line.
How do you have zero net force but still have motion?
Force causes acceleration, not motion. A moving object undergoing zero net force will continue to move in the same direction at the same speed.
When the net force equals zero on a moving object what is it in?
It is in equilibrium.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
What is the net force of an object that is sitting still?
Since force is a function of acceleration and an object at rest has zero acceleration, then then net force is zero as well.
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
If the net force acting on an object is zero then what will the object do?
It will keep moving with a constant velocity since zero net force means no acceleration. If the object is at rest, it will just stay at rest.
The net force of an object is zero can you conclude that the object is at rest?
You can't. The net force simply means that the acceleration is zero. It could be at rest, or the object could be moving at a constant velocity.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
What is the net force on an object with constant velocity?
If the object is moving in a straight line, then the net force on it is zero. If the object is not moving in a straight path, then there is some non-zero net force acting on it even if its speed is constant. We don't have enough information to describe the magnitude or direction of the force.
Does an object have net force if it is motionless?
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. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity 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.
