Forces on a moving object are balanced only when the object is moving at a constant velocity. Remember, acceleration is a force and a constant velocity is equivalent to zero acceleration.

Think of a ping pong ball that you drop from a few meters above the ground:

After a short acceleration the ball reaches "terminal velocity" when the air resistance balances the gravitational acceleration. After this, the forces on the ball are balanced (although it is moving, the velocity - speed & direction - of the ball is not changing)

A single force is never balanced or unbalanced. These terms refer to the combined

effect of two or more forces.

A change in motion results whenever two or more forces acting on an object are

unbalanced.

How does force cause a change in motion?

A force, such as an unbalanced force, causes an object to move, while balanced forces, where two sides are equal, does not cause a change in motion.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


How do balanced forces acting on an object affect its motion. How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affect its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


What does a unbalanced force cause that a balanced force doesnt?

There is no such thing as "a balanced force" or "a unbalanced force". Only a group of two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced. An unbalanced group of forces acting on an object causes accelerated motion of the object. A balanced group of forces doesn't.


Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Balanced forces have the same effect as not moving at all. The motion of the object does not change at allOnly unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object. It does not matter if the object was at rest or was already moving.


Do balanced forces cause motion?

No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affects it's motions?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?

During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.


Does force have size and motion?

Force has size, which is how much force put into somethig, e.g., 10 Newtons of force. It has motion because force is basically motion, because force can be unbalanced or balanced, and unbalanced causes motion, and is basically motion.


How do balance forces acting on an object 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.
