If the object accelerates, that means the forces are NOT balanced.

How can an object have forces acting on it but not accelerating?
If all forces in all direction on an object are equal then a box diagram would show that the forces (newtons, N) will cancel each other out, so it will stay fixed in it's positionIf the forces are imbalanced then you can achieve acceleration. So for a car to move it must overcome tyre friction, so heat and noise wastage, air resistance, and all the smaller forces trying to stop the engine moving (mostly friction). Once it produces more force than those require it can move.No. A balanced group of forces has the same effect on an object as no force at all.
What is it called when the result of unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Movement, of some sort. For example, when you are standing still, the normal force is balanced with the force due to gravity. But, when you jump off a cliff, the forces are not balanced anymore (no more normal force), so you fall (movement).
What kinds of forces can act on an object?
Normal force can act on an object
What fault is caused by tension forces?
A normal fault.
Tensional forces normally cause which one of the following?
normal faults
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
Is a textbook on a table a balanced force or an unbalanced force?
A textbook on a table is an example of balanced forces. The force of gravity pulling the book downward is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table in the upward direction, resulting in the book remaining stationary on the table.
What term best describes the forces acting on an object with the net force of zero?
An object at rest, or an object with a constant velocity are the two possible states of an object with zero net force. An object with zero acceleration has zero net force. There many be several forces acting on the object, such as the force of gravity and the normal force of the ground. Even though an object sitting on the ground has two forces acting on it (gravity, and the normal force) the object does not accelerate because these forces are equal and opposite. An object with zero net force has all forces acting on it equally balanced and cancelling out
Why is force unbalanced when an apple is on a tree?
It's not. If the forces on an apple were unbalanced, then the apple would accelerate. As long as the apple is on the tree, the downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward tension in the stem. When the upward tension in the stem goes away, the forces are no longer balanced, and the apple accelerates in the direction of the remaining unbalanced net force. It continues accelerating in that direction until it hits the ground, whereupon the ground begins to provide an upward normal constraint force, which once again balances the force of gravity, and the acceleration ceases. All of this takes place without the slightest awareness on the part of the apple.
When forces are of equal size and opposites direction what is it?
The normal force (Fn).
What forces are pushing up on a still car?
"Normal" forces push up on a still car. In this case, normal forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the gravitational forces pushing down on the still car.
How can an object have forces acting on it but not accelerating?

Once it produces more force than those require it can move.No. A balanced group of forces has the same effect on an object as no force at all.
What is the difference between net force and normal force?
Net force is the combination of all the forces acting on an object. When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero (because the forces cancel each other out.) When the forces are unbalanced, the net force will be a number.
What are the forces that do not cause an object to move?
Forces which cancel each other will not cause motion. For example, force of normal usually cancels force of gravity.Force of friction does not actually cause motion, but rather opposes it.If there is no motion, any forces must be balanced. That means that the sum of all forces on an object must be zero.
What is it called when the result of unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Movement, of some sort. For example, when you are standing still, the normal force is balanced with the force due to gravity. But, when you jump off a cliff, the forces are not balanced anymore (no more normal force), so you fall (movement).

What Are the Non-Fundamental Forces?
Normal, Friction, Tension, and Elastic Forces.
