What happens if the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero?

Then the object will not accelerate (if it is stationary, then it will remain stationary, if it is already moving it will continue to move at the same velocity until a force begins to act on it).

∙ 15y agoNet force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force

∙ 8y agoIf the object is not moving, or moving at a constant velocity, then the forces add up to zero. If it is accelerating then the forces do not all cancel out.

If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
How do you explain the effect of balanced forces on the state of motion of an object?
A balanced group of forces acting on the object has no effect on its motion. The object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Forces acting on an object that is not moving are described as this?
It can be said that the net force applied on the object is zero or that the object is in translational equilibrium. Keep in mind that these terms can also be applied if the object is moving at a constant velocity.
What is the force acting on an object that causes change?
Unbalanced forces causes object's position to change, in which is known as acceleration. According to Newton's first law, an object will always be in the same position regardless if it is moving or not, unless an unbalanced force happens on it.
What happens when there are unbalanced forces acting on an object that is not moving?
it will lost its balance and crash
What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the same direction as the movement?
The object will move faster
How can you tell when balanced forces are acting on an object?
It will stop moving.
Can an object that has balanced forces acting on it be standing still?
If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.
If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
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.
Can an object be moving at a constant speed if three forces are acting on the object?
Sure, as long as the sum of the forces is zero.
If an object is moving at constant velocity what is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object?
zero
What is An object moving at a constant speed means it is?
It is in Equilibrium and there are no forces acting on it.
What happens when two balanced forces are acting on an object?
No acceleration occurs - if stationary, it does not move, if moving, it continues its original velocity (speed *and* direction).
What happens to an object if the forces acting upon it are unbalanced?
It moves.
What happens to a object if there are no forces acting upon it?
It will remain in that state.
