ANSWER 1 - If an unbalanced force acts on an object in motion, then the velocity of the object will change. ANSWER 2 - The object will continue its state of motion. This property is called 'inertia'.
bcoz there is no force 2 stop that object. let me give u an example:
think of Ice Hockey...if the player strikes the puck it will continue travelling for much much much further than if the puck was, say, on asphalt. the reason for this is the friction caused by the asphalt.
see if the object is acted upon by a BALANCED force, the resultant force is 0, bcoz the 2 (or more) forces cancel each other out
I don't think anybody knows WHY this is so; we only know that this is how our world works. If no force acts on an object (or if the sum of all forces is zero), then the velocity won't change. I don't think there is any way to PROVE that this is so; this has been observed by experiment.
"Constant velocity" means that the velocity doesn't change. Note that in physics terms, this means that the neither the speed nor the direction change.
"Unbalanced force" is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. As an example, if an object is resting on a table, gravity pulls downward on the object, while the table pushes upwards against the objects - the two forces are in balance (their sum is zero), and the object's velocity doesn't change.
That is Newton's first law. It means that if an object is in motion (moving at constant velocity) it will stay at the same speed and direction (velocity) unless an unbalanced force acts on it. An unbalanced force is a force whose net force is not zero. If an unbalanced force acts on the object, it will accelerate in proportion to its mass (force = mass x acceleration, Newton's second law) and the object will no longer be at constant velocity
The momentum of an object remains the same unless an unbalanced force acts on it! :D
The reason is The Law of Conservation of Energy.
Force F =Derivative of Energy XE. When energy is conserved then F= ma=0 no force no acceleration. No acceleration no change in motion!
That's right. This is described by Newton's laws of motion.
because force imbalance will cause motion to accelerate and not be constant
Newton's first law states this.
That law states that if no net force acts upon an object, that object's velocity won't change. For example, if it was at rest, it will continue at rest.Note that the First Law is a bit redundant - it is really only a special case of the Second Law, for the case that F = 0.
an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But when the entire group of forceson an object is unbalanced, then the object must accelerate.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the weight of the object decreases.
What law of motion corresponds with the following statement? "A small car is easier to start moving than a large car."
an object at rest remains at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. an object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force Hope this helps!!!
The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
Newton's 1st Law of Motion, often called The Law of Inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
...by an unbalanced force
An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object in rest tends to stay in rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
An object at rest remains in rest, or an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
An object in motion will remain in motion or an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. Newtons 2nd law of motion states: An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force. If a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.
