An object is traveling in a straight line in space no forces are acting on the object based on this evidence what will happen to the objects motion?

Nothing will happen to the object's motion, it will continue along its path.


What is the net force of an object in equilibrium?

You and I stand on opposite ends of a small car.You are in the back, pushing it forward with a force of 100 pounds. I am in the front, pushing it backward with a force of 100 pounds.I don't know what the "force" on the car is. Is it 200 pounds, 100 each from you and me ? Do we also have to add in the weight of the car ... another 2,000 pounds of gravity pushing it downward ? How about the reaction force of the pavement ... another 2,000 pounds pushing it upward ? I don't know.But I do know the net force on the car ... it's zero. The two horizontal forces on it cancel each other, because they're directed in opposite directions. Same for the vertical forces. Which is why the car doesn't accelerate in any direction ... because the net force in that direction is zero.


What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?

An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.


What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?

If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).


What are forces equal in strength but opposite in directions?

Two unequal forces The resultant force of two unequal forces clearly depends upon the magnitude of these forces and also depends on the angle of interception. One can clearly apply trigonometrical theorem for the same. such as if force x and force y of x1 and y1 magnitude is acting on an object N and if the angle between these forces is (180) degrees this means they are acting on opposite direction , and resultant force will be in direction of force x1 ir x1 > y1 or y1 if y1 < x1 So these unequal forces must be studied along with the angle of interception Hope this will give you a fair idea for calculation ( force is a vector and not scalier)

If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.


A moving object with no forces acting on it will?

Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."

What are the condition for an object to move with increasing velocity?

The forces on the object must be unbalanced. When adding up ALL the Forces on an Object, If the result is not Zero, then the Object will Accelerate in the direction of the sum of the forces.

An object at rest has two forces acting on it. The first force is 315 N acting along the x-axis. What is the MAGNITUDE of the second force?

Magnitude is 315 N. Direction would be opposite the first force, so they cancel out and leave the body at rest.


What is the resultant of two forces acting in opposite directions to each other?

Unequal combined forces trying to move in opposite directions would be the net force in one direction. Force is a vector quantity for any external effort that causes something to change a certain way.


What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?

A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.


You ride a bike along a flat straight road the forces acting on the bike balanced or unbalanced?

If you're not speeding up, slowing down or turning - then forces are balanced.
