Why are forces balanced when a car is travelling at a steady speed?
If the forces weren't balanced, then the car would be (de) accelerating, thus the forces must be balanced.
Are the forces on a car unbalanced or balanced?
balanced
What happen when opposite forces acting on an object are balanced?
Assuming this is a physics question, when all the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is in equilibrium. For example, when a car is at a constant velocity, with no acceleration, all the forces are equal.
What is the acceleration of a car when the forces are balanced?
Zero.
Can all forces of a car be balanced if it is moving a constant velocity?
That's exactly what we must conclude. If the forces on the car were not balanced, then its velocity would have to change.
How does balanced forces act on a car?
The same way it acts on any other objects. If the forces are balanced, there will be no acceleration.
Explain the term balanced force and unbalanced force?
balanced forces are when the two opposite forces are equal and cause no change to the object e.g a car at a steady speed. unbalanced forces would cause the car to increase or decrease in speed
What forces are acting on a still car?
on a still car the weight force is down, and is balanced with the reaction force (working upwards). friction of forward and balanced with drag - backwards. ;)
Can balanced forces act on moving object?
Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.
Can balanced forces act on a moving objects?
Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.
Is a car turning a corner balanced force?
No. The car is accelerating using an unbalanced force. Balanced force does not accelerate.
Are there unbalanced forces acting on the car even when its not being pushed?
If a car (or any object, for that matter) accelerates, that is, if it velocity changes, then there are unbalanced forces. If the object doesn't accelerate - for example, if it remains on the spot - then the forces are balanced.
