When two forces act on an object in opposite directions and the object moves will it move in the direction of the smaller or greater force?
Greater force
What does unbalanced mean?
Ubalanced force: is when two forces are acting on an object results in a net force and causes a change in the object's motion.
What is meant by the resultant force?
A resultant force is more commonly known as a net force. According to newton's second law of motion the net force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. The net force can also be found out using vector addition.
How do unbalanced forces affect motion?
-- An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. -- If an object is not moving, then the group of forces on it must be balanced, else it would be accelerated.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object?
Objects move according to their net force, or the total amount of force acting on them. Balanced forces are just that, balanced. An object with balanced forces will not move because the opposing forces will cancel each other out. However, if there are unbalanced forces, the object will move in accordance with the force that is greater. When moving though, there is always friction. Whether you be underwater, on the ground, or in the air there is always friction on the Earth. (Besides vacuums, of course.) Force is equal to mass x acceleration. With that you can find the forces of the object if you know its mass and acceleration.
What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?
If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object than the object will accelerate (assuming there are no other 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
The force acting upon an object the greater the acceleration of the object?
The larger the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
What is acting on the object if balanced forces are acting on an object?
No. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the forces are balanced, their sum (net force) will be zero, and the object will either be at rest or be moving at constant velocity in a straight line. If the vector sum of the forces is greater or less than zero, then the object will be accelerating, which means it will be undergoing a change in motion.
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 are forces called that have a net force?
The overall forces acting on an object.
