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 is two or more forces that act on an object and do not cancel each other?

Forces act by means of exchange particles. There are four basic forces (which operate in numerous different ways) each having its own exchange particle. The force of gravity is conveyed by the graviton. The electromagnetic force is conveyed by the photon. The two nuclear forces are conveyed by mesons. A particle that is exerting a force will emit an exchange particle, and a particle which is experiencing a force will absorb that exchange particle. That is essentially how it works, on a subatomic level. There are also mathematical equations which describe the forces, for example, the electromagnetic force is described by Coulomb's Law.


What are earth forces?

i knowwere you live ill punch you in the face


Is there force in space?

No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!


What are some non examples of solids?

This is an odd example. Anything that is NOT solid earth is a non-example. So, a bird is not solid earth.

What are the forces acting on us when you go down a helter-skelter on the outside?

When going down a helter-skelter on the outside, the main forces acting on you are gravity pulling you down towards the center of the Earth and the normal force pushing against the slide to keep you on the curved track. Friction also plays a role in helping you move along the slide without slipping off.


What are the 3 external forces in the Earth?

The 3 external forces acting on Earth are gravity from the Sun and Moon, solar radiation pressure, and tidal forces from the Moon and Sun.


Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?

Yes, an object at rest can have forces acting on it. The vertical forces acting on an object at rest would include gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from a surface pushing it upward to balance the force of gravity.


What forces were acting on Felix Baumgartner as he jumped to earth?

As Felix Baumgartner jumped to earth during his space jump, the main forces acting on him were gravity pulling him downward and air resistance pushing against him as he fell through the atmosphere. These forces affected his speed and trajectory during the jump.


Are there forces acting on the book if yes draw the forces acting on the table?

Yes, there are gravitational and normal forces acting on the book. The gravitational force acts downwards towards the center of the Earth, while the normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of the table and supports the weight of the book.


The force of gravity acting upon the mass of an object?

That's usually called the object's "weight". Like say if you're talking about the forces of gravity between you and the Earth, the force of gravity acting on you is your weight on the Earth, and the force of gravity acting on the Earth is the Earth's weight on you, and they're equal.
