There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

When the group of all forces acting on an object is unbalanced,

the object accelerates, in the direction of the sum of all the forces,

and at a rate that's proportional to the strength of their sum.

If the group of all forces acting on an object is balanced, meaning

that the strength and direction of all of them adds up to zero, then

the object moves at a constant speed in a straight line, which is the

definition of zero acceleration.

How do unbalanced forces affect objects?

An unbalanced force will cause acceleration in the direction of the force.


Can unbalanced force change an objects motion?

If the group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object's motion always changes. The change is called "acceleration".


What happens to an objects speed if it travels with constant acceleration?

It goes faster


How do unbalanced forces affect an objects velocity?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.


How will you know whether the given applied force on an object is balanced or unbalanced?

You must firstly know it's physical details and it's conditions (The objects'). If you apply a balanced wave of force it will maintain those physical details and conditions but if you apply an unbalanced wave to the object it will suffer from maintaining it's physical details and conditions. Also when the object is not moving or when the object is moving at a constant velocity and if at it's moving it doesn't have any changing velocity (Acceleration) it will mean the applied force is balanced. Other than this, is unbalanced.


How do you find an objects acceleration from its mass and the force acting on it?

Acceleration= total force / mass. Total force might be applied force minus frictional force, or applied force minus air resistance etc.


What happens to the rate at which falling objects accelerate over time?

The rate of acceleration is constant.


Two words for what happens when an objects velocity decreases?

negative acceleration


What happens to an objects acceleration if you increase the force on the object?

If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration


What happens to the torque when two unbalanced objects equal distant on either side of the fulcrum are moved apart?

it can suck my dick.


What happens if you increase the mass on an object does the acceleration decrease or increase?

If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?


Can you have a net force when the forces applied to the objects are balanced?

Yes, you will have a net force but its magnitude is zero if it does not cause any acceleration.
