∙ 13y agoUnbalanced forces cause accelerations, so lets take a quick look at what this means!
Lets assume you have a rocket ship in space that is already in motion and not currently propelling itself (under no net forces)
Now lets apply a force to it (as if by magic)
1.) The rocket ship could slow down, if the force opposed the direction of the velocity
2.)The rocket ship could be stopped! This would require more precision, but is definitely a legitimate outcome.
3.) The rocket ship could speed up, if the force was in the direction of the velocity.
If you are talking about an object at rest, then there isn't three things. An object at rest put under a force WILL accelerate.

slow it down
change its direction

How do mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?
The force of gravity acts between all objects. If massincreases, the force of gravity increases. If distanceincreases, the force of gravity decreases.
Does the centripetal force act as an unbalanced force on the satellite in orbit?
Yes. According to Newton's Second Law, there has to be an unbalanced force - otherwise, the satellite won't accelerate (in this case, change direction).
What objects exert gravitational force?
Absolutely ALL objects does this. Large objects, much force. Small objects, little force. Black holes, Humoungus force.
What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.
Why does a body becomes weightless in an artificial satellite?
for the circular motion of a satellite a centripetal force is requid. these force is supplied by the gravitional force between the earth and satellite this is trueall objects in the satellite is zero ie, the object in a satellite feel weightlessness
How do balanced and unbalanced force affect an objects motion?
The motion in a body depends on the the balanced or unbalanced forces acting on it. If the sum of the forces is 0 then it is a balanced force and produces no motion if the sum of the forces isn't 0 then it is unbalanced force. The body will move in the direction in which the force is applied. That's about it
Can change an objects motion?
unbalanced force(:
What is needed to change an objects motion?
an unbalanced force
How do unbalanced forces affect objects?
An unbalanced force will cause acceleration in the direction of the force.
Does an unbalanced force change an objects motion?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".If the entire group of two or more forces on an objectis unbalanced, then the object's motion changes.
What is a common unbalanced force acting on objects in motion?
Friction
Is it true that an unbalanced force will not change and objects motion?
yes every unbalanced force can change or "try to change (can be or cannot be)" the state of rest or motion
An unbalanced force will not change an objects motion?
If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).
What does it take to change an objects state of motion?
it takes an unbalanced force to change an object's state of motion
How does the unbalanced force affect the motion of the body?
A unbalanced force causes a body to accelerate. (From Newton's second law)
How about if the object is already in motion how will the unbalanced force affect its motion?
Acceleration ... whether or not it was in motion initially.
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".
