Equilibrium
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved. If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.
Nothing! If the two forces are equal and opposite then they will cancel each other out. What will happen next is described in Newton's First law when it says "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force". Two equal and opposite forces have the same effect as no force, therefore the object's motion will remain the same as if it had never been acted upon by the two opposite forces.
When a force is pushing on another force with either more power or less power. As a result, one of the objects moves.When a force is pushing on another force with either more power or less power. As a result, one of the objects moves.
Forces which cancel each other will not cause motion. For example, force of normal usually cancels force of gravity.Force of friction does not actually cause motion, but rather opposes it.If there is no motion, any forces must be balanced. That means that the sum of all forces on an object must be zero.
Cancel
Well, let's put on our thinking caps here: If you're trying to push a car, and you can't quite do it alone, you call your friend over and ask him to help you. So he comes over, and he stands next to you, and which way does he push . . . in the same direction as you're pushing, or in the opposite direction ? Which direction helps you move the car, and which direction would make the two of you look like Laurel and Hardy, and transform the both of you into objects of derision and scorn ?
No, never. They act perpendicularly, so they could never cancel. Only forces which act parallel and in the opposite direction can cancel.
if the values are the same then nothing happens.
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
In order to cancel out, they must act on the same object.
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
Yes and no. They are equal in size and opposite in direction, but they are NOT exerted onto the same object. Each object exerts exactly one force and each object RECEIVES exactly one force. With only one force being exerted onto each object, there is nothing to be cancelled on each single object. Thus, they do not cancel, they simply exert themselves on different objects.
they do! for every action is an equal and opposite reaction. To propel a rocket into orbit an equal amount of force is expelled in the opposite direction. This is often dissipated into the atmosphere in the form of heat.
They are vectors of equal magnitudes in oppositedirections. When you add them, they cancel out each other.
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.
Yes and no. They are equal in size and opposite in direction, but they are NOT exerted onto the same object. Each object exerts exactly one force and each object RECEIVES exactly one force. With only one force being exerted onto each object, there is nothing to be cancelled on each single object. Thus, they do not cancel, they simply exert themselves on different objects.
