The object will change its velocity due to the acceleration a=f/m = dv/dt = cdv/dr.


It may also change it's direction subject to the vector of the force.

What happens if a balanced forces are applies to a moving object?

When balanced forces are applied to a moving object, the object likely slow and eventually stop. How quickly that occurs depends on the amount of force.


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 happens to a moving object when force is applied?

The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.


What happens when the longer a force acts on moving object?

If a force is being applied to a moving object, it will change its velocity (it will accelerate) appropriately.


What happens when balanced forces are applied to a non moving object?

It stays the same


What happens when a unbalanced force is applied to moving object?

The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.


What happens if a large mass is dropped into something moving at constant speed?

The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

If there is no net force, the object will stay at rest if it was at rest, or continue moving - at constant velocity - if it was already moving.


What are diifferent word for object?

a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.


Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


What happens to an object when the forces are balenced and it's moving?

Then the result will be the same as if NO forces act on the object (since the sum of the forces is zero). The object will continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.


What happens when the same force is applied to an object?

If the object was stationery before any forces were applied it will remain stationery, and if it was moving it will remain moving but at a constant speed. There is no resultant force so the object experiences no acceleration.
