Net Force
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
A net force must be applied to the object. That is, the vector sum of ALL the forces acting on the object must not be zero.
no, if forces have magnitude gr8er than zero. u can check it in topic vector operation, resultant of 2 forces.
maybe: the force continues to be applied, even as the object accelerates
The "net force" is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. "Balanced forces" means that the net force is zero. "Unbalanced forces" means that the net force is non-zero. Note that unbalanced forces on an object will cause an acceleration - the object's velocity will change.
An object accelerates in the direction of the net applied force, which is the vector sum of all applied forces.
An equal and opposite force is also applied to the object, so that the vector sum of all the forces on it is zero.
* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.
We're forced to go out on a limb here and propose an answer without benefit ofthe "following" list of choices, since, apparently, the question was automaticallytruncated and the choices were lost. It's a shame you went to all that trouble tocopy the choices along with the question, only to see them deleted by some nasty 'bot'.Since the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force, the net force on it ...equal to the vector sum of the applied force and the friction force ... must point inthe direction of the applied force, and so the frictional force must be less than theapplied force.
When their vector sum is zero.
Force is a vector, and so the sum of all forces acting on an object is a vector sum.
An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate.Its acceleration is (the vector sum of all the forces)/(the object's mass) .
Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object.
Forces act by means of exchange particles. There are four basic forces (which operate in numerous different ways) each having its own exchange particle. The force of gravity is conveyed by the graviton. The electromagnetic force is conveyed by the photon. The two nuclear forces are conveyed by mesons. A particle that is exerting a force will emit an exchange particle, and a particle which is experiencing a force will absorb that exchange particle. That is essentially how it works, on a subatomic level. There are also mathematical equations which describe the forces, for example, the electromagnetic force is described by Coulomb's Law.
In this case, the forces on the object are balanced. In other words, the vector sum of all the forces is zero.
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
The sum of the forces must be zero. More precisely, "the forces on an object are balanced" means the same as "the vector sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to zero".
