Either no force at all, or else a group of forces whose vector sum is zero ...

often known as a 'balanced' group of forces.

What is the best way to measure the motion of any object?

You should be on the moving object


If while doing range of motion I feel resistance of patient starts to complain of pain should I continue?

No


Measures an objects tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity?

When the object is at rest, the acceleration is zero. so the net total force acting on the body from all directions should be zero. when the object is moving with constant velocity, the acceleration is zero, so in this case too, after the motion is started, the force on the body should be zero. when the velocity is increasing, some acceleration is present, so some force should be present in the direction of the motion. These are the various cases which can be explained by the equation: Force = Mass * Acceleration. here the mass remains constant, so acceleration depends on the net force


Why is it important to know that your reference point is moving?

If your reference point it moving, then it cannot be considered a reference point. Your reference point should be something constant. Something that can be relative to any situation. If it moves, you lose this relativity.


You are walking toward the back of a bus that is moving forward with a constant velocity. Describe your motion relative to the bus and relative to a point on the ground?

Relative to the bus, you are moving towards the back. If your walking speed is slower than the speed of the moving bus (which it usually will be) then your motion relative to a point on the ground will be moving in the direction of the moving bus, but slower by the speed at which you are walking.

If you are running at a constant speed how should you throw the ball in order to catch it when it comes down?

Straight up in the air. It's already moving at your speed, so it's horizontal velocity will remain constant. Vertical motion and horizontal motion don't affect each other.


What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a line is not zero?

Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration


What are decondition for an object to stay addresto keep moving constant velocity or remove constant velocity?

If the sum of all forces on an object is zero, then the object remains in constant, uniform motion. 'Constant uniform motion' means motion in a straight line at a constant speed. The physical description of such motion is "constant velocity". "Rest" is just constant velocity with a speed of zero. If the sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, then the object's velocity must change. The change may consist of speeding up, slowing down, or turning in a different direction. Note: If you can, you should try and find the question in writing, so you can see what it's really asking.


How do you use a word constant in a sentence?

I wonder what is the constant speed of this moving car


What does the phrase keep moving mean?

It means you should continue to progress.


What are the conditons for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity or to move with increasing velocity?

When the object is at rest, the acceleration is zero. so the net total force acting on the body from all directions should be zero. when the object is moving with constant velocity, the acceleration is zero, so in this case too, after the motion is started, the force on the body should be zero. when the velocity is increasing, some acceleration is present, so some force should be present in the direction of the motion. These are the various cases which can be explained by the equation: Force = Mass * Acceleration. here the mass remains constant, so acceleration depends on the net force/

What are the condition for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity?

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.


What basic motion should a ship have in order that the rudder will be effective in turning the ship?

It should be moving forwards or backwards.


Which state should a reference point be in to be used to determine motion?

The reference point should be stationary, or not moving.
