A push or pull exerted on an object is called what?
A force is the total force felt by an object
How do forces work in different directions?
You calculate the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. For example, if one force is in the positive direction, say 8N, and another force is in the opposite direction, say -7N, the net force would be 8N + (-7N) = 1N.
Work is done when a force is applied to an object if the object?
is moved
Force can change the what an object?
speed it up slow it down and change direction. Forces can: - Cause and acceleration o Speeding up o Slowing down o Change direction - Do nothing - Cause work (w = Fd) - Ie. Change shape
Using a force to move an object across a distance is?
When using a force to move an object across a distance...it produces an acceleration. If you are looking for the force, you must first find the acceleration. a=F/M Once you have found the acceleration then you can find the force. F=ma ( force =mass x acceleration)
Is force the capacity to do work?
No. Energy is what allows you to work. Force, however, is a push or pull or something that tries to make something else move. When forces are balanced, an object stays where it is, when the forces are unbalanced, the object moves.
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.
What is the definition of unblanced forces?
Balanced forces are forces that are balanced and there is no change in motion. Unblanced forces are the opposite of a balanced force. that means that unbalanced forces are not balanced and there is a change in motion.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces work when you sit down?
While you're moving, the forces acting on you are unbalanced, and add up to something. When you're sitting, the forces acting on you are balanced, and add up to zero.
When an apple falls from a tree what force pulls it down what are the balanced and unbalanced forces at work?
Pull of gravity pulls it. Other forces - Air resistance and drag
What is the definition for unbalanced force?
When 2 forces are not equal they work against each other. When a light is able to move.I agree===============================Answer #2:I don't.There's no such thing as one unbalanced force. A group of two or more forces is unbalanced if their vector sum is not zero. That means that after they're through fighting, pulling with all different strengths in all different directions, they don't exactly all cancel out. If they did, and the result of all of them was zero, then we would say that the group of forces is balanced.
A push or pull exerted on an object is called what?
A force is the total force felt by an object
Does balanced forces or unbalanced forces cancels out one another?
Yes, but not completely. For example if a force of 10N was pushing left, and a force of 5N was pushing right, the object would move left with a force of 5N. Balenced forces cancel each other out completely. Sources: GCSE cource work, and my brain.
Do balanced forces make objects move?
Yes but they will not make the object start, they will only work once the object is going and will keep the object going the same speed from when the unbalenced forces stop.
If a book is hanging from a rope are the forces balanced or unbalanced and why?
The forces at work are balanced. Gravity is pulling the book (and the rope) down, and the rope exerts an equal and opposite force to keep the book suspended.
If work is applied are there 2 forces applied?
No. Work simply means that an object moved as a force was applied.
What is an exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force called?
The answer to your question is Work. The definition of work is: "When a force acts against resistance to produce motion in a body, the force is said to do work." - The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics... Which means the exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force.
