Such an object will move at a constant velocity - its velocity will not change. Note that velocity is a vector - that means, in this case, that neither the speed nor the direction will change.

What are unbalanced forces and what?

Balanced forces describes when all forces on an object are equal. Unbalanced forces describes when the forces on an object are unequal, resulting in movement. Forces are balanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, at which point the object will be at rest or be in motion with constant velocity. Forces are unbalanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is greater or less than zero, at which point the object will accelerate by either starting motion from rest, or changing its motion if it is already in motion, for example, by changing direction or speed.


What is the relationship between force and movement?

When forces are unbalanced on an object, the object will move.


This refers to the action or the forces of movement?

Dynamism focuses on the actions or forces causing movement. This is opposed to focusing on the movement or object being moved.


What happens when forces are balanced and unbalanced?

balanced = no movement of the object unbalanced = the object moves


Forces can change the what of movement of an object?

speed or direction or both


Describes forces when the net force on an object is not zero n?

unbalanced


What does uniformed motion mean?

It means the object has NO ACCELERATION.


If an object is not moving does it have balanced or unbalanced forces upon it?

Balanced forces, by definition, have a net force of zero. That is, they are forces acting on an object which counteract each other, resulting in zero movement for the object in question.


When unequal forces are exerted an an object resulting in movement is called a?

Inertia.


Describes forces working upon an object that are of equal magnitude and come from opposite directions?

This definition describes equilibrium.


What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?

It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.


When both forces are equal and no movement is seen on the object?

Then the forces are most likely opposing and negate each other.
