A book setting on the table. The force of gravity is balanced by the equal and opposite force of the table holding the bookk. No acceleration of the book due to those forces.

How do you equal and opposite forces acting on objects can produce vastly different accelerations?

They can't. The vector sum of equal and opposite forces is zero, and they can't produce any acceleration at all.


What is the caused when forces are not opposite and equal?

acceleration


When the forces on an object produce a net force of zero the forces are?

equal and opposite


If a box has equal and opposite forces acting on it will the box accelerate?

No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.


What kind of forces produce movement?

an equal force applied at a vector opposite the force in question.


When a men intends to start walking on the ground though the action and the reaction forces are equal in magnitude these forces may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes?

No, they will produce same acceleration because mass of the body is same in both the cases,,


Why are forces equal and opposite?

Forces are not always equal and opposite. This question needs to be rewritten.


What happens when the applied force is equal to the kinetic friction?

Presumably, the forces are in opposite directions. In that case, the total force is zero, and there will be no acceleration.


Why is the earths acceleration not equal to and opposite the objects acceleration?

There is no reason it should be the same.Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.To change acceleration a force is required and the change of acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object on which the force is acting.


If two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force will be balanced?

Equal means the forces are of equal magnitude. And they act exactly in opposite directions. Then certainly the resultant effect will be zero. So we say that the forces are set in balanced condition. Hence balanced.


If forces on an object are equal and opposite then what are they called?

They are called COUPLE.if forces on an object are equal and opposite...


What is acceleration when force acted on the object is equal from both sides?

The acceleration is zero, since the net force (or total force) is zero: the acceleration on one side cancels out the acceleration on the other. Imagine pushing your hands together. Equal and opposite forces cancel out, and your hands remain in the middle.
