Unbalanced forces
Velocity is a vector. You need both speed and direction
If the forces are balanced they will have no action or the object, if not they will accelerate the object in the resultant direction of the two forces..
Velocity means speed and direction. If one car was travelling 60mph northwards and one car was travelling 60mph southwards, they would both have the same speed but they would have different velocities. Acceleration means a change in velocity; this could be a change in speed or direction or both.
north, 35 degrees north of east
2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.
Unbalanced forces
what direction the car was moving
Vectors need both magnitude and direction.
Its easy....To balance force you need to apply an equivalent force in the opposite direction....Example:If a force of 20N acts on a body along the North, you should apply 20N along the south......simple.......
If it wasn't for forces acting opposing to the direction of motion, an object would continue to move in a given direction at constant speed (constant velocity) indefinitely without the need of a force exerting on it.<br><br>However due to "real world" forces such as friction or air resistance, a force equal and opposite to these opposing forces needs to be applied to an object to keep it moving at constant velocity.<br><br>These are all governed by Newton's Laws of Motion.<br>
When the forces on an object are balanced, then they have the same effect on itas NO FORCE at all would have. That means that the object does not accelerate,and THAT means that it continues moving in a straight line, at a constant speed.If that didn't blow your mind, then please read it again. One of the things it tells usis that it doesn't take ANY FORCE to keep an object moving.
If I am reading your question correctly, you want to now if balanced forces can change the direction an object is traveling. The answer is no. Balanced forces always produce no net change, hence the term "balanced". You need an unbalanced force to change the direction of an object, or to set an object in motion from a standstill.

Velocity= a speed and a direction The speed is 15 km/hr You still need a direction to make a velocity.
