Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force

When there are several people acting on an object and it starts to roll what do you know about the forces acting on the rock?

You know that the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction.


When an objects motion changes you know that the forces acting on it are?

Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.


If an object is moving at a constant speed what do we know about the forces acting on the object?

Not much, really. If the object's direction is changing, then the velocity changes, and there are forces acting on it. The only thing we can say is that the net force acting on the object is either zero, or it is perpendicular to the movement.If the VELOCITY doesn't change, then the net force (the sum of the forces) is zero.


How do you know if force is equilibrium?

A force is in equilibrium if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, meaning there is no overall acceleration or movement in any direction. This can be determined by analyzing the forces acting on the object and ensuring they balance each other out.


How do you know that the forces acting on an object are balanced?

If an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, the forces acting on it are considered to be balanced. This is because in such cases, the net force acting on the object is zero, meaning that the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.


What do you know about the forces acting on an object that is moving at a constant velocity?

When an object is moving at a constant velocity, the forces acting on it are balanced. This means that the net force on the object is zero, which allows it to continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line. The forces acting on the object may include friction, air resistance, and any applied forces.


What do you want to know about all the forces acting on the object?

I would need to know the magnitude, direction, and type of each force acting on the object, as well as the point of application. This information is essential for determining the net force acting on the object and predicting its motion using Newton's laws of motion.


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


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'.


When finding the net force why muist you know the direction of the forces acting on the object?

i have no idea... im trying to figure it out...


How do you find out if a force is balanced or unbalanced?

Its easy....To balance force you need to apply an equivalent force in the opposite direction....Example:If a force of 20N acts on a body along the North, you should apply 20N along the south......simple.......


What do you call the overall force acting on an object?

It is referred to as the Net Force.To get the Net Force, one must add and subtract all of the forces acting on an object.So for an object at rest sitting on a table or some other surface, one knows the net force would be 0 Newtons.So, once you find the force of gravity, you know that the normal force will be equal to the force of gravity.It would be the net force.
