There are two forces responsible for an object to stay in orbit Namely-- 1-Centripetal Force --Which pulls any object toward the center 2-Centrifugal Force --Which push any object away from the center

When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object what will happen to an object that is moving?
If two forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, then the net force acting on the object is zero. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object's velocity will not change. If it is already moving, then it will continue to move in a straight line at that same velocity. If it is not already moving, it will stay stationary.
What is the definition of a unbalanced force?
There is no such thing as "an unbalanced force". There are only forces. When two or more separate forces act on the same object, the GROUP of forces may be balanced or unbalanced. If the sizes and directions of all the individual forces add up to zero, then the GROUP of forces is balanced. If one of them changes or goes away, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.
What happens to an object's motion when 2 equal forces act on an object in opposite directions?
Nothing! If the two forces are equal and opposite then they will cancel each other out. What will happen next is described in Newton's First law when it says "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force". Two equal and opposite forces have the same effect as no force, therefore the object's motion will remain the same as if it had never been acted upon by the two opposite forces.
What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
What is newton's second law of motion simplified?
an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force
What happens when any object is dropped from a satellite?
It will stay with the satellite for a while, in a similar orbit. If the satellite is in low orbit, gradually the object will get away from the satellite, due to "tidal forces" from Earth.
Why does planets stay in its orbit?
For a planet to stay in it's orbit the forces must be in balance.
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
How do forces acting on an object?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
What are the forces that resist outside forces?
They are inertia and momentum. If an object is in motion it tends to "try" to stay in motion, and an object at rest does the same to stay put. The forces still act on it, although the forces are slightly weaker.
Are humans able to stay on Pluto?
As of 2017, humans are not even able to leave our orbit, let alone visit another object in our solar system (other than the Earth's moon).
How force act on an object?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
When balanced forces act on a moving object the motion of the object will stay the same?
Yes.
A moving object with no forces acting on it will?
Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."
What makes the object stay in place?
For an object to stay in place - unmoving - two conditions must be fulfilled:* The sum of all forces on the object must be zero. * The sum of all torques on the object must be zero. Usually the forces that tend to keep an object in place (despite forces such as gravity or wind) are anything holding it fast in place - including friction.
What are the condition for an object to stay at rest the moving at constant velocity?
The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
What are conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity?
The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
