This is a good question. We can relate force and acceleration using the equation F=ma, where m is mass. If the net force, F is zero, that means that either the mass or the acceleration has to be zero so that the equation is true. All objects have mass, so m can't be zero. That means that a has to equal zero in all cases. It is also important to note that acceleration is how fast an object is speeding up or slowing down. An object may be moving and have zero acceleration, if it's velocity is constant. Hope this helps.

When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?
When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.
How did you arrive to zero net force?
Zero net force is when the forces are balanced and there is no acceleration.
What is the net force of an object that is sitting still?
Since force is a function of acceleration and an object at rest has zero acceleration, then then net force is zero as well.
If a non zero net force acts on an object what does the object do?
-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
What if net force is zero?
Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.
A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?
It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.
When the net force on an object is zero?
Then there will be no acceleration of the object.
What is the acceleration of an object if the net force working on the object is zero?
The acceleration would also be zero in this case.
If the net force on an object is zero than the object has?
No acceleration
What must you know about an object Moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
What must you know about an object that is moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
If a non-zero net force is acting on an object what is happening to the object?
A non-zero net force, also called an unbalanced force, will cause an acceleration. The amount of the acceleration can be calculated by Newton's Second Law.
