From Newton's Second Law, F=m*a.

If we have an unbalanced force, or net force, acting on the object (F not equal to 0), Newton's 2nd law states that the object must either experience a net acceleration (non-zero too) or a mass change(which is too weird to consider here). So, we'll just say that, from N's 2nd law, an unbalanced (net) force causes the object to have a net acceleration of anything but 0 m/s^2.

Then, since acceleration = (change in velocity)/(change in time), a non-zero acceleration must mean that there is a change in velocity.

Therefore, an unbalanced force means non-zero acceleration, which causes the velocity to change.

Does displacement change when an unbalanced force is acted upon it?

yes it does since an unbalanced force causes acceleration which will change the velocity and displacement


Do a unbalanced force cause a change in motion?

Yes, an unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate or change its velocity, resulting in a change in motion. The direction of the acceleration will be in the same direction as the unbalanced force.


When the force on an object is unbalanced what three changes may occur in the objects velocity?

When the force on an object is unbalanced, the object's velocity may change in magnitude, in direction, or both. The object may accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force, decelerate, or change its direction of motion.


What happens to the velocity of an object when balanced force act on it?

The velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force.


Which of the following changes when an unbalanced force acts on an object?

When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the object will experience acceleration. This acceleration can lead to a change in the object's velocity and/or direction of motion.


What will happen to an object that has unbalanced force acting on it?

If an object has an unbalanced force acting on it, it will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The object will experience a change in velocity and will continue to accelerate as long as the force remains unbalanced.


What are three ways in which the velocity of an object may change when the forces on the object are unbalanced?

doing some homework? A net force vector/imbalance can either increase velocity (positive acceleration), decrease velocity (negative acceleration) or effect zero acceleration (perpendicular).


Is it a unbalanced or balanced force when you stop pushing a box and it comes to a stop?

Since there is an acceleration (a change of velocity), the forces are unbalanced.


How unbalanced forces change the velocity and acceleration of objects by completing the cause-and-effect graphic?

An unbalanced force causes a change in velocity by accelerating an object in the direction of the force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In this cause-and-effect relationship, the force is the cause, leading to the effect of acceleration and a change in velocity of the object.


What are three things that can be caused by an unbalanced force?

Three things that can be caused by an unbalanced force are acceleration of an object, change in velocity of an object, and deformation or breakage of the object.


Does an unbalanced force change an objects motion?

There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".If the entire group of two or more forces on an objectis unbalanced, then the object's motion changes.


The change in an object velocity?

The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.
