Two equal forces (equal in magnitude and direction) result in simply double each individual force. However, if the forces are acting opposite to each other they will cancel each other out and they cause a resultant force of zero. This means the object is in linear equilibrium and is either moving at a constant speed or is stationary.
Newtons third law
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions are called balanced forces. If they are on the same line of action, they are called couple forces.
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
Neutral or in equilibrium
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called its momentum
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
False forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate.
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
They are called COUPLE.if forces on an object are equal and opposite...
-- The object can be called anything you want. -- The group of all forces acting on the object is called a balanced group of forces. -- The mechanical condition of the object is called equilibrium.
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.
Assuming this is a physics question, when all the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is in equilibrium. For example, when a car is at a constant velocity, with no acceleration, all the forces are equal.
