Force causes acceleration, not motion. A moving object undergoing zero net force will continue to move in the same direction at the same speed.

How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?

Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.


When does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


Does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


If for every action there is an equal reaction how does motion occur when the net force is zero?

The motion of an object upon which the net force is zero exhibits zero acceleration. The object's speed is a constant ... which may be zero ... and the motion is in a straight line


How does zero net force affect an objects state of motion?

If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)


If the net force on an object is zero will the objects motion change?

No.


A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?

The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".


Does rolling friction always reduce the net force acting on against an objects motion to zero?

The net force will be zero only if the velocity is constant, which means acceleration is zero.


Objects at rest or in uniform motion have what acting on them?

zero net force


How can you tell if the net force is zero?

you can tell only if there is no motion or movement.


When the net force on an object Is zero the object motion will?

The objects will not accelerate.


When forces are balanced the motion of the object?

If no unbalanced force operates on an object its motion will be constant.
