Best Answer

Friction universally counteracts the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.

What is the effect of balanced force to object whose already in motion?

A balanced force has no effect on any object: whether it is already in motion or is at rest is not relevant.


How do you explain the effect of balanced forces on the state of motion of an object?

A balanced group of forces acting on the object has no effect on its motion. The object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.


What is the effect on the projectile motion when the diameter of the object is changed?

-- In the absence of air resistance, the object's diameter has no effect at all on the projectile motion. -- In the presence of air resistance, one has to know everything about the object AND the air in order to have a prayer of calculating the effect.


What is the cumulative effect of the forces on the objects motion?

The falling object


How do unbalanced forces effect an objects motion?

If the [group of] forces on an object is unbalanced, the object accelerates.


The factors that may have effect on the motion of an object?

Force is the only such factor.


What is the effect of friction on a moving object?

It resists the motion (slows it down)


Air resistance has a greater effect on the motion of an object when?

When the object is very light or/and the region around the object is very windy!


Doppler effect states that the motion of any object can?

Shift the wavelength of the spectrum.


What is the motion of an object when the forces on an object are balanced?

Then the effect is as if there are no forces on it at all, and it moves in a straight line with constant speed.


Does the mass effect the velocity of an object in orbit?

No objects in motion stay in motion barring external force (drag in air)


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.
