How are the forces on a moving car balanced Surely if thrust and air resistance are equal the car will be stationary.?

No, that's not the way our Universe works. I suggest do some reading on Newton's Second Law - for instance, in the Wikipedia. Briefly, you do NOT need a NET force to keep an object moving. With a net force of zero (i.e., balanced forces): * A stationary object will remain stationary * A moving object will continue moving, at constant velocity.


Why do some objects move so fast and some move so slow?

The speed with which an object moves depends on its mass, any force applied on it (including frictional forces, which slow it down), and its previous history - i.e., if it has been moving before, it will have the tendency to continue moving, at least for a while, until frictional forces slow it down.


What is a examples of forces?

Some exmples of forces are- an object begining to move an object speeding up an object begining to slow down or stop moving an object changing direction an object remaining still


What is is tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?

If a body is in motion, some force, of necessity, acted upon it to get it moving in the first place. However, if no furtherforces are acting upon it, including, for example, friction, gravity or solar radiation as with an object traveling through space, for example, the object would tend to continue on its path, unaltered, ad infinitum.


If an object is not moving can there still be a force acting on it?

According to Law of Inertia, an object will remain in its state of motion, either at rest or moving until an external unbalanced force acts on it. So if the object is at rest, some external force (F) has to be applied in order to move that object. Law of Inertia is actually a second law, out of three Newton's laws of motion.

What forces are acting on objects that are moving with circular motion?

Some Forces do not involve physical contact between the bodies on which they act. -Jauan Williams 3182163642


Differentiate stationary object and accelerated object?

A stationary object is a object which is not moving or which have zero kinetic energy and a accelarated object is that which is moving withs some acceleration and have some kinetic energy.


What is the combination of all the forces acting on an object called?

There are truly thousands of forces acting upon one object at any one time, every object in the universe in some way will affect it. The main forces would gravity and friction and air resistance and thrust depending on the situation.

Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.

What happens when a moving object encounters friction?

It transferrs from the moving object to the stationary object.


Can an object be in motion if no external forces are acting on it?

yes. external forces ALTER an object's motion... but once it starts moving and has no external forces being applied on it, it will go in a straight line with constant velocity (Newton's 1st Law of Motion)
