Best Answer

A forces on an object m creates an acceleration a=f/m and acceleration causes a change in velocity a= dv/dt. This change in velocity can change the speed or direction or both.

Explain the term balanced force and unbalanced force?

balanced forces are when the two opposite forces are equal and cause no change to the object e.g a car at a steady speed. unbalanced forces would cause the car to increase or decrease in speed


What three ways do unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion?

speed, slow down or change direction or some combination thereof.


What are the four things that forces can cause objects to do?

speed up.slow down.change shape.change direction.


Definition of an unbalanced force?

That means that there are one or more forces acting on an object, but the vector sum of these forces is not zero. That would cause the object to accelerate - in other words, its speed would change.


What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?

A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.


Forces can change the what of movement of an object?

speed or direction or both


An unbalanced force can cause an object to change its speed and or?

The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

What does newtons first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?

The object will maintain its speed and direction or the object will not change its speed or direction.


What are the 3 things forces can do when acting on an object?

Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)


Can forces acting on an object change speed direction or both?

Both.


What effect do forces have on a moving object?

Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.
