A net force is the vector sum of ALL forces acting on a given object. A "non-example" would include an individual force, when there are other forces involved. For example, if you have a book on a table, the downward force of gravity is NOT the net force, since there are other forces involved.

∙ 14y agoA net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act on an object. If two forces act in the same direction, just add their magnitudes; if they go in opposite directions, subtract them.
One case that is very common is that when you pull an object, there is an opposing friction force. In this case, the net force will be less than the force with which you are pulling. Once you are pulling at a constant speed, it is clear (from Newton's First or Second Law) that the net force must be zero, because there is no acceleration. Therefore, if you pull with a force of, say, 400 Newton, the opposing friction force is also 400 Newton.

If a non zero net force acts on an object what does the object do?
-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
What are three different examples of forces?
balanced force, unbalanced force, and net force
What are non examples of unbalanced force?
Force on accelarating object.
What are the examples of non conservative forces?
Friction and the Normal Force are examples of non conservative forces
If a non-zero net force is acting on an object what is happening to the object?
A non-zero net force, also called an unbalanced force, will cause an acceleration. The amount of the acceleration can be calculated by Newton's Second Law.
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".
Infer the net force on a refrigerator if you push on the refrigerator and it doesnt move?
If an object is not moving, then the net forces working on it are zero. If there were a non-zero net force, the refrigerator would move in the direction the force was applied.
What is the net force equal too when there are unbalanced forces?
The net force on any object is the vector sum of all the forces acting on it, whether they are balanced or not. In the case of unbalanced forces, the net force will be non-zero.
What is the net force a person?
Just as with other object, you can deduce the net force using Newton's Second Law. If an object - a person in this case - is at rest (or moving at a constant velocity), the net force must needs be zero. Only if the person is accelerating will there be a non-zero net force.
Is it true or false that unbalancing the forces acting on an object gives you net force?
It is true that if the forces on an object are not balanced then there will be a non-zero net force on that object.
What Combination of all of the force acting on an object?
This would be known as the net-force.
What are balanced and unbalance net force?
The "net force" is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. "Balanced forces" means that the net force is zero. "Unbalanced forces" means that the net force is non-zero. Note that unbalanced forces on an object will cause an acceleration - the object's velocity will change.
