If all forces are equal and opposite how does anything accelerate?
Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite. By Newton's Third Law, if object A attracts object B, then object B also attracts object A - with an equal but opposite force. But those forces act on DIFFERENT objects! The forces on object A, and on object B, may be unbalanced!Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite.

An unbalanced force is at work when?
There is no such thing as 'an unbalanced force', any more than a trouser, a scissor, a tweezer, or a clapping hand. A group of two or more forces is balanced if the vector sum of all of them is zero, or unbalanced if it's not. When a group of two or more forces is unbalanced, then the object they act on exhibits acceleration.
Is it true when balanced forces act on an object the object speeds up starts to move slows down stops or changes direction?
Yes, of course if there is force there is acceleration.
True or false An object will slow down and stop as long as no forces act upon it?
False. An object will go on forever if there were no forces to act upon it. In space, a rocket will go forever at the speed it projects. We only need the engines to steer an for lift off. On Earth, a toy car will go a short distance when pushed. Friction will go against it.
How do you find out if a force is balanced or unbalanced?
Its easy....To balance force you need to apply an equivalent force in the opposite direction....Example:If a force of 20N acts on a body along the North, you should apply 20N along the south......simple.......
What changes when an unbalanced force acts upon an object?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". When the entire group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object accelerates, in the direction of the vector sum of the forces.
Two or more forces that act on an object that do not cancel each other?
If the sum of all forces acting upon an object is not zero, then the object will accelerate. (Newton's first law)
What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?
Moves.
What do unbalanced forces act upon?
dey dont
What is true about the motion of an object if the forces are unbalanced?
If unbalanced forces act on an object, the motion of that object will change. Remember, force equals mass times acceleration.
When no unbalanced forces act on an object the object can have no?
If forces on an object are balanced, the object will not accelerate - i.e., its velocity won't change.
Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?
Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.
How do unbalanced forces affect forces?
Forces don't affect forces. FORCES act on OBJECTS.If there is an unbalanced force, that means that the sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero.
When acted upon an unbalenced force an object at rest will do what?
When unbalanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will move. In the two examples mentioned earlier, the net force on the object is greater than zero. Unbalanced forces produced change in motion (acceleration) and the receivers of the forces - the piano and the rope -
Name some forces that act upon a moving object?
Forces that likely act upon a moving object include:frictiongravity
How force act on an object?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
What can happen to the velocity of an object when unbalanced forces act on it?
it can slow down or speed up.
