Are there no force acting on an object if the accelaration of the object if zero?
Not exactly. If the acceleration of the object is zero, there might be no force acting
on it, but there could also be no net force acting on it. That means that there could
be a bunch of different forces acting on it, with different strengths and directions, but
they all add up to zero.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between an object that has no force acting on it and an object that has a zero net force acting on it?
An object with no force acting on it means that there are no forces present at all, while an object with a zero net force means that the forces acting on it are balanced, resulting in no acceleration. In the second case, there may be individual forces present but their combination results in a net force of zero.
What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?
0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.
What is the net force of something that is at rest?
The net force acting on an object at rest is zero. This means that all the forces acting on the object are balanced and there is no overall force causing it to move.
If the netforce on an object is zero then the object has?
If the net force on an object is zero, then the object is in either equilibrium (if it was at rest initially) or it is moving at a constant velocity (if it was already moving). This means there is a balance of forces acting on the object in opposite directions.
If we are told that an object has a constant velocity what can we say about the force on that object?
If an object is moving with constant velocity, then the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in no acceleration and a constant velocity.
When a cat sleep on a table the net force on it is?
Net force is defined as the overall force acting on an object. When a cat sleeps on a table, the net force on it is zero. When a body is at rest the net force acting on the body is zero.
If an object is at rest all forces acting on that object must be?
If an object is at rest, the net force acting on it must be zero. This means that all forces acting on the object must be balanced and equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
What is the net force on an object that is acted on by balanced forces?
If all forces acting on the object are balanced (equal), the net force acting on the object is zero.
When more than one force is acting on and object the blank determines the motion of the object?
Net force determines the motion of the object. If the net force acting on an object is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
Is the net force zero when all the forces acting on an object are balanced?
Yes, if all the forces acting on an object are balanced, the net force on the object is zero. This means that the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in the same direction.
What happens to a motionless object when the net force acting on it is not zero?
If the net force acting on a motionless object is not zero, the object will start to accelerate in the direction of the net force. Newton's second law states that an object will accelerate in the direction of the net force applied to it, causing a change in its velocity.
Does an object have net force if it is motionless?
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
