When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?

An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.


How an object could still be moving with the 0 acceleration?

Zero acceleration means that the velocity doesn't change. It doesn't mean that there is no velocity.


What is an object doing at the moment it's instantaneous acceleration is zero?

it can be moving at constant velocity or staying still


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


An example of zero acceleration would be what?

If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object


When thrust and drag are equal why does the object still move?

When the forces on an object add up to zero, the object's acceleration is zero. Thatmeans the speed or direction of its motion doesn't change. It does not mean thatthe object isn't moving. A moving object would just keep moving at a constantspeed in a straight line.


What is the word that means zero velocity?

Any object which is at rest has zero velocity, for example a rock on the road. car parked at lane, a motor which is not moving or stop. a man sleeping. home office statue of liberty. anything that is at rest has zero velocity.


How can an object have zero acceleration?

i am ten so this will be a wimpy answer. it is an object that has nothing to propel it and therefor it has no acceleration. see wimpy Actually the above is wrong because an object can still be moving but it is accelerating only when there is a change in speed or direction. A car moving at a constant speed of 50 m/h is not accelerating however we can agree that it is still moving.


An object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity what is mean is n't possible.?

Yes, it can happen. when the velocity is momentarily zero while an object is changing from moving in the positive direction motion to the negative direction; the object obviously will stop at one point, but will still have a constant acceleration.


When the velocity of a moving object stay the same it has?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.


What is the net force of an object that is sitting still?

Since force is a function of acceleration and an object at rest has zero acceleration, then then net force is zero as well.
