What is the combined total of all forces acting on an object?
that is called the net force; it is a vector sum of all the forces acting on it
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
What are the forces acting when pushing a trolley?
Accoridng to Aristotle, the trolley would stop. According to Galileo the trolley would slow down and eventually stop.
What is equilibrant forces?
The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.
Is the net force zero when all the forces acting on an object are balanced?
Yes, the net force would be zero if all the forces acting on the object negated each other.
How would high wind affect the forces acting on a bridge?
it just does. okay?
What is total of all of the forces on an object?
That would be the net force acting on the object.
What force or forces would be acting upon a falling airplane?
gravity wind resistance weight
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.
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.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
If forces are unbalanced is there acceleration?
yes, since the forces are acting on just one body, the mass (m) in the equation F=ma is not changing, which would mean that the two accelerations (a) would have to be different. If the two accelerations are different then there is total acceleration in one direction (the resultant acceleration).
