That is true. According to Newton's first law of motion: "An object at rest tends to stay at rest, of if it is in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a sum of physical forces."

So if I'm pushing in one direction with 5 Newtons of force, and you are pushing in the opposite direction with 3 Newtons of force, the object will begin to accelerate towards you. This is also assuming that we either void the static friction, or we are on a frictionless surface.

Are there unbalanced or balanced foces on Mercury?

There are unbalanced forces on Mercury due to its orbit around the Sun, leading to variations in its speed and direction. These forces cause Mercury to experience gravitational interactions that affect its trajectory.


What is the definition of unbalanced foces?

-- A group of two or more forces is unbalanced when the vector sumof its individual component forces is not zero.-- A group of two or more forces is balanced when the vector sumof its individual component forces is zero.Notice that it's not the forces that are balanced or unbalanced.It's the whole group of them that's balanced or unbalanced.


What are unbalanced forces and what?

Balanced forces describes when all forces on an object are equal. Unbalanced forces describes when the forces on an object are unequal, resulting in movement. Forces are balanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, at which point the object will be at rest or be in motion with constant velocity. Forces are unbalanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is greater or less than zero, at which point the object will accelerate by either starting motion from rest, or changing its motion if it is already in motion, for example, by changing direction or speed.

When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each other?

The action and reaction forces between the truck and trailer do balance each other, but they act on different objects. The forward force from the truck on the trailer causes the trailer to accelerate forward, while the equal and opposite force from the trailer on the truck causes the truck to accelerate forward. The net result is that both the truck and trailer move forward together.
