Forces are balanced when the net force is equal to a certain number of newtons what is that number?

Two forces are balanced when they both have the same number of Newtons, eg. if a rock is placed on the ground, the rock will push down with a force of around 10 Newtons, say, and the ground will push back up with an equal force. this means that the rock will not sink into the floor, but it will also not start to rise off of the ground.


When you are sitting on a rock what force acts on you?

-- The force of gravity of your bottom against the rock, in the downward direction. -- The 'reaction' force of the rock against your bottom, in the upward direction. Since the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, their vector sum is zero. Some would describe this situation as "The forces on your bottom are balanced." In any case, the 'net' force on your bottom is zero, and your bottom therefore does not accelerate.


How do forces acting on rock cause tension?

gravity and moons forces pulls it up


What will happen in 100 years to a 7 lb rock?

The form of "a 7lb rock" in 100 years varies according to reactions: - Chemical Reactions: - chemical properties of the rock(i.e: includes salt), - the behaviour of the medium it is kept(i.e: humid or dry environment, solvent materials), - Physical Reactions: - External forces applied to the rock(i.e: acceleration), - Inertial forces of the rock. (i.e: surface tension).


What would happen to a rock in the garden if no forces were ever applied to it?

it would stay there until an outside force acted upon it

Where is the balanced rock located on a map of Idaho?

The balanced rock in Idaho is located in Buhl, Idaho, near Twin Falls in south central Idaho. This is only about 50 miles (80 km) north of the three-way border of Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. This is an impressive natural formation, 48 feet tall on a base just 1.5 feet x 3 feet. It is not as precariously "balanced" as it appears. There are hard rocks in the base still jutting into the wider upper rock, and concrete has been added to limit it from shifting.
