Newton's 2nd Law of Motion states that F = m * a, where F = the net force acting on an object [N]; m = the mass of the object [kg]; and a = acceleration [m/s2] . If the motion is linear, then we can consider scalar operations on F and a. If the force is a vector, then a has to be a vector too.

What are the effects on an object when two or more opposing forces of unequal mangnitudes are simultaneously applied to the object?

If there are two or more unequal forces acting on an object then the object will be acting on the forces. ^_^


Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction is the same as?

Having no force acting at all, as the forces will cancel each other out. This results in a net force of zero.


What force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum?

I wasn't there, so I have no knowledge of how things were set up in that particular experiment. The only force I'm sure of is the force of gravity, and your use of the term "dropped" seems to confirm that assumption.


What is the relationship between unbalanced forces and second law of motion?

The second law of motion (F=ma) states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Unbalanced forces occur when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. This relationship between unbalanced forces and the second law of motion explains how objects accelerate or change their motion when unequal forces are applied to them.


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 describes unequal forces acting on an object-results in a change in the objects motion?

Unequal forces acting on an object result in a net force that causes the object to accelerate or change its velocity. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.


What describes unequal forces acting on a object-results in a change in the objects motion in the direction of the larger force?

Picking up a glass of beer from the table. Force of gravity . . . down. Force of arm muscle . . . upward. Forces are unequal. Upward force is greater than downward force. Glass accelerates upward, toward mouth.


Do all forces acting on objects cause motion?

If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).


What is the effect gravity has on objects of unequal forces?

Gravity affects all objects equally, regardless of their mass or size. However, objects with greater mass will have a stronger gravitational force acting on them, causing them to accelerate more towards the center of the gravitational field. Objects with lower mass will experience a weaker gravitational force and therefore accelerate less.

If there are two or more unequal forces acting on an object then the object will be acting on the forces. ^_^


How to combine unequal forces acting in opposite direction?

What is unequal forces in opposite direction?

Unequal forces in opposite directions can result in a net force acting in the direction of the larger force. This can cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force due to the imbalance in forces acting on it.


What happens to an objects motion if two unequal forces act on it in same directions?

The object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force due to the net force acting on it. The acceleration of the object will be directly proportional to the net force applied.


What is unequal forces acting in opposite directions?

Unequal forces acting in opposite directions create a net force that will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The resulting motion depends on the difference between the forces and the mass of the object.


Do all objects have two forces acting on them at all times?

No, all objects do not necessarily have two forces acting on them at all times. Objects can have multiple forces acting on them simultaneously, or just one force, depending on the situation.


Objects that do not accelerate?

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.


Why do objects accelerate on ramps?

Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.
