Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?
As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.
When a pulley break and falls to the floor what change in force is this called?
unbalanced to balanced
What are the forces on a falling object are balanced and the object falls with constant speed?
The forces are balanced because they are falling at a constant speed. According to Newtons first law of motion an object will keep moving unless an unbalanced or net force acts upon it. If we may step in here for the novel purpose of answering the question . . . The balanced forces on an object that is falling with constant speed are typically the force of gravity (the object's 'weight') and the equal and opposite force of air resistance.
Would a book falling off a table be a balanced force?
The force of gravity causes a book to fall, but someone has to push it to the edge of the desk, or off the desk so that the force of gravity is greater than the normal force acting on the book.
Why an apple falls down not upwards?

When will forces be balanced?
Forces with be balanced about any time, unless you add another force to it. For example, when you set a pencil, pen, paper, ext. the forces are equal. They both pull (or push) on themselves. But when you add a force gravity pulls it down (falls, falls to the floor).

You hold an apple over your head Identify all the forces acting on the apple and their reaction forces when you drop the apple identify all the forces acting on it as it falls and the corresponding?
Can someone help me with this question, I am clear with the concept. Thanks
How can an object have balanced forces and still move?
If an object is at rest it takes an unbalanced force to get it moving. Also if an object is moving it takes an unbalanced force to stop it. So if an object is in motion, because of some unbalanced force and then, while moving, another force comes in to make the forces balanced this will not be enough to stop it, just keep it from accelerating. This happens when objects are dropped from a great height. At first the force of gravity causes it to pick up velocity (accelerate) as it falls. But as it picks up speed the force of air resistance gets larger and larger. Pretty soon the downward force of gravity is just balanced by the upward force of air resistance. The object continues to fall , but now at constant velocity.
Is an acorn falling from a tree an example of a balanced force acting on it?
First of all, there's no such thing a "a balanced force". Two or more forces are balancedif they all add up to zero.If the forces on an object are balanced, it either remains motionless, or else it movesin a straight line at a constant speed.When an acorn falls from a tree, it falls in a straight line, but its speed keeps increasinguntil it hits the ground. So the forces on it can't all add up to zero ... that is, howevermany forces are acting on it, they can't be balanced.
What are 4 ways we know that forces exist?

What forces an apple falls from a tree branch?
There is a natural weak spot that develops in the ripened apple stalk that breaks and allows the apple to fall to the ground. This occurs in Autumn, or sometime prematurely, if there is a strong wind that shakes the apple free.
Can balance force bring about any change in state of motion?
Force is an external agent or influence, which changes or tends to changethestate of rest or state of uniform motion of a body in astraight line. Question 2. Back to Top. Question: What are balanced and unbalanced forces? ...(d) A passenger jumping out of a moving bus falls forward if he does not run forward ...
Why does an apple fall to Earth?
The apple has mass. The Earth has mass. The apple falls down, and the Earth "falls" up. The Earth's motion is not measurable. The apple's motion is.
