Since any object's acceleration is proportional to the net force on the object, the object's motion will tell you about the net force on it, i.e., the vector sum of all forces acting on the object. However, you will not be able to tell anything about the individual forces unless there is only one.

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.


What forces are acting on all objects?

Objects that do not accelerate?

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.


Can unbalanced force change an objects motion?

If the group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object's motion always changes. The change is called "acceleration".


Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's what?

Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.


What occurs in an objects position when acted on by an unbalanced force?

First of all, there's no such thing as an unbalanced force. A group of forces maybe balanced or unbalanced, but the forces themselves aren't.An unbalanced group of forces acting on an object causes the object's velocityto change. That means the speed or direction of its motion changes. It doesn'ttell you anything about the object's position. In order to figure that out, you'dhave to know what its speed and direction were before the unbalanced groupof forces began acting on it, and you'd also need to know the object's mass.


Describe how the objects shown above will be affected by the forces acting on them?

Sadly, no matter how long or how intently I keep my gaze fixed above, I seem to be unable to make out either the objects or the forces acting on them.


Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?

All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.


Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest?

Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.


Do all forces acting on objects cause motion?

If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).


How do balanced forces acting on objects affect its motion?

When the forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out and the result is no change in its motion.Balanced forces have no effect on motion. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.


How can forces be acting on an object without changing the objects motion?

because it is in equilibrium
