In that case, the sum of all forces must be zero.

What happens if the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero?
Then the object will not accelerate (if it is stationary, then it will remain stationary, if it is already moving it will continue to move at the same velocity until a force begins to act on it).
If an odject is at rest all forces acting on that obkect is?
If an object is at rest 2 forces are still acting on it (if done on a planet) gravity pushing the object down. And the up force which is the force exerted by ground upwards against the object. Gravity being the greater force keeps the object on the ground, but the upforce prevents the object from basically ploughing through the ground.
Can an object have a non zero force and have constant kinetic energy?
an object can have a non zero force acting upon it if and only if the sum of all of the forces on the object is still equal to zero. The sum of the forces is equal to mass times acceleration. If an object is accelerating, then it does not have a constant KE therefore the sum of the forces must be equal to 0 so that acceleration is also equal to zero. For instance, take the case of an object falling through the air. Initially, the force of gravity is accelerating the object downward and it is gaining KE. After some time, this object will reach terminal velocity. At this point, the resistance force of the air on the object negates the force of gravity and the sum of the forces is equal to zero. The object now falls at a constant velocity and in turn also a constant KE. It is still being acted upon by the force of gravity and the resistance force but these forces are canceling each other out. =============================== I don't like to delete an answer that somebody put a lot of effort into, and supervisors don't like it when I become plainly uncomplimentary. So all I can say is: Use the above answer at your own extreme peril, and far better to ignore it. Especially the 1st and 3rd sentences.
What motion does an object have if all forces are balanced?
If all forces of an object are balanced, then the motion of the object will remain the same. For instance, if all forces are balanced and if the object is moving, then it will continue to move. If it's still, it will remain still.
When all forces acting on an object are balanced what does th object do?
Nothing.
What is zero accelaration?
When an object is not accelerating at all. It has constant velocity.
What does the term balance mean?
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.
How do you find the displacement of an object accelerating from rest?
If the motion is all in a straight line, then Displacement = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time spent accelerating)2
When an object is at rest what are the forces acting on it?
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
Why is uniform linear motion not an accelerated motion?
Because the object is not moving in any direction at all. Therefore its not accelerating or in motion.
The overall force on an object after all the force are added together is called the?
accelerating force
How can you tell if the force 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 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.
Is something accelerating with a constant speed?
That is possible, for example, if an object moves around in a circle. In this case, the velocity changes all the time; the speed does not.
Why an object falls of placed in air unsupported if a room is an inertial frame of reference. this means the room is moving in the upward direction how?
If the object is falling down, it is accelerating. "Inertial frames of reference" do not include acceleration, so the falling object can't be considered an inertial frame of reference, according to the Special Theory of Relativity. However, the General Theory or Relativity explores additional complications due to gravity. In any case, if you wish, you can use the object accelerating downward as a reference frame (just don't call it "inertial"); in this case, obviously the room is accelerating upward, compared to the falling object. It all depends what object you choose as your reference frame.
What is all weel drive?
That is when all your wheels are accelerating.
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.
