How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.

How can you tell if a force is balanced or unbalanced by looking at it?
2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.
What can the changes in a objects position tell you about the forces acting on the object?
Since any object's acceleration is proportional to the net force on the object, the object's motion will tell you about the net force on it, i.e., the vector sum of all forces acting on the object. However, you will not be able to tell anything about the individual forces unless there is only one.
If the forces on an object is balanced what does it tell you about the size and direction of the force?
It tells us that the sizes of forces are equal and directions of forces are opposite.
Can you say about the no forces acting on a stationary object?
If the object is not moving, then the only thing you can be sure of is that since it's not accelerating, all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. Just the fact that it's not moving is not enough information to tell you that there are no forces on it.
How do unbalanced forces affect an object's speed?
Newton's Laws of Motion tell us that the velocity of a body remains constant unless subject to a force. If there are more than one force acting, it will be the net force that causes any change in velocity. So in the case where the forces are balanced, nothing will change, but note you must be sure the forces are balanced in direction as well as magnitude. In fact what you have to do is evaluate the net force as a vector quantity. If the forces are in fact unbalanced this means there is a net force in a certain direction, and this will act on the body, in that direction. (Force = mass x acceleration)
When an item is traveling at a constant speed what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
You can't tell anything about them from the speed alone. Constant speed aloneisn't enough to tell that there are no forces on the object. The best example isa planet in a circular orbit around the sun. Its speed is constant, even thoughthere's a substantial gravitational force between it and the sun.When an item is traveling at a constant speed and also in a straight line, thenthe forces acting on it must either be nonexistent or must add up to zero.
Why does the shape of the free fall curve tell you about how an object moces when it is in free fall?
if its a velocity / time curve, it will show diminishing acceleration (slope of the curve) up to terminal velocity (forces balanced)
What will knowing the net force on an object tell about the forces on the object?
Knowing the net for will tell you various things, including the direction, speed, and acceleration.
What is an object called when the only force acting upon it is gravity?
Let me think.......Why should I tell?
Why is it useful to know the net force?
You must know the the direction so then you know if you either subtract or add. For example , if the the direction of the force is in opposite then you would have to subract each net force.
