Take the example of a book resting on a table. The downward force of the book's weight is matched exactly by the upward resistance of the table - hence the book remains where it is. (If the table was very flimsy, and unable to support the weight of the book, the book would accelerate towards the ground.)
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
balanced
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
If all forces acting on the object are balanced (equal), the net force acting on the object is zero.
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
a balanced force is when the net force acting on an object is equal to 0.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
Balanced force -> Zero net force -> Zero acceleration (stays at rest or constant velocity)
If the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced, the resulting net force is equal to zero.
balanced
When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero, by definition. "Net force" refers to the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
No. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the forces are balanced, their sum (net force) will be zero, and the object will either be at rest or be moving at constant velocity in a straight line. If the vector sum of the forces is greater or less than zero, then the object will be accelerating, which means it will be undergoing a change in motion.
