What term best describes the forces acting on an object with the net force of zero?

An object at rest, or an object with a constant velocity are the two possible states of an object with zero net force. An object with zero acceleration has zero net force. There many be several forces acting on the object, such as the force of gravity and the normal force of the ground. Even though an object sitting on the ground has two forces acting on it (gravity, and the normal force) the object does not accelerate because these forces are equal and opposite. An object with zero net force has all forces acting on it equally balanced and cancelling out

and you've got yourself a "balanced" pair of forces.
NOT a "pair of balanced forces", but a "balanced pair of forces". It's the pair
that's balanced, not the forces.
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWhen an object as a net force of zero acting on it, that means all of the forces are balanced.

Forces in equilibrium,
Net zero forces.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThere could be millions of individual forces acting on the object. But if there's no
NET force, then we know that the vector sum of all the individual forces is zero.

Which term describes the vector sum of the forces acting on a body?
Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object.
If balanced forces are acting on an object it will seem as if a net force is acting on the object?
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
Force acting on stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are:PushPullGravity
when all of the forces on an object cancel one another out the forces are?
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
What is the difference between net force and normal force?
Net force is the combination of all the forces acting on an object. When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero (because the forces cancel each other out.) When the forces are unbalanced, the net force will be a number.

Force acting on stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are:PushPullGravity
What is the net force on an object that is acted on by balanced forces?
If all forces acting on the object are balanced (equal), the net force acting on the object is zero.
What is the combined total of all forces acting on an object?
that is called the net force; it is a vector sum of all the forces acting on it
Balancing the forces acting on an object give you the net force?
If the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced, the resulting net force is equal to zero.
What do you get when you combine all the forces acting upon an object?
The net force acting on the object.
What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
What describes the effects of forces on an object?
Isaac Newton defines force as mass times acceleration.
What are forces called that have a net force?
The overall forces acting on an object.
when all of the forces on an object cancel one another out the forces are?
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
