How do you identify balanced forces?

The object the forces are acting on will not move, or will be moving at a constant speed (e.g. not accelerating). This is called being in 'equilibrium'.


An object will move at constant speed until?

An object will move at constant speed until acted upon by a force.


Is it correct to assume a motion of constant speed?

It depends on your setting. If the net force on an object is zero than the object will move with a constant speed. It will also move with a constant speed (but not velocity!) if a force forces the object to move in a circular motion.


What is an object that continues to move at a constant speed without a force?

Accelaration


What is the average speed of an object moving constant in a circle?

An object can move in a circle at different speeds.


What is constant speed?

Constant speed is movement at a fixed (constant) distance per unit of time. The same amount of distance is covered by the object in the same amount of time at each measurement of that same interval. An example of an object moving at a constant speed might be an object in orbit. Something up their above the drag of the atmosphere will move at a constant speed, and will continuously move around the earth at the same speed. Note that velocity is speed with a direction vector. An object in orbit will have a constant speed, but its velocity will be constantly changing because it is constantly changing the direction it is moving.

An object will move at a constant speed in a straight line until?

Acted on by a force.


How do you know a moving object's acceleration?

Acceleration is the change in velocity. Velocity is the change in speed or direction. Therefore, acceleration is changing the change in speed or direction. So if you are going at 50mph and then you are going at 55mph and then at 60mph, your acceleration is constant at 5 mph. if the change in accleartion is changing, then it is not constant. If you turn dirctions even while you move at a constant velocity, you are accelerating.


What is the name for an object that will remain at rest or move at a constant speed unless acted on?

A mass


What is an object that continoues to move when an unbalenced force is removed?

Any moving object continues to move, in a straight line and at constant speed,when all forces are removed from it.


What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?

It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
