Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?

Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.


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.


When a cat sleep on a table the net force on it is?

Net force is defined as the overall force acting on an object. When a cat sleeps on a table, the net force on it is zero. When a body is at rest the net force acting on the body is zero.


When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?

When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.


If an object is accelerating can the net force acting on it ever be zero?

No, if an object is accelerating, there must be a net force acting on it in the direction of the acceleration. Newton's second law states that the net force on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration, so a non-zero net force is necessary for acceleration.


What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?

0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.


How did you arrive to zero net force?

Zero net force is when the forces are balanced and there is no acceleration.


If the net force on an object is 0 is the net torque 0?

Not necessarily. The net force being 0 means the object is in translational equilibrium, but the net torque can still be non-zero if there are unbalanced forces causing rotation.


When the forces on an object are balanced what is the net force?

When forces are balanced, the net force is zero.


What 2 words mean net force of zero?

net force


What is the net force when forces are unballanced?

0; zero net force


What kind of force is exerted on an object with a net force of zero?

Zero
