Poorly phrased question as the correct answer is merely "Yes, you can." To answer the question probably intended: "How do you distinguish between one object experiencing zero net force and another experiencing non-zero net force?"

The first object will be at rest or will have a constant velocity (i.e. speed and direction). The second will have a changing velocity (i.e. a changing speed and/or direction of motion) or, in other words, it will be accelerating (or decelerating).

Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?

Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero.

When an object is pulled on a level surface at a constant velocity what force is the pulling force equal to?

If there is no friction or anything that can impede the movement off the object, then the force is zero. If there is friction, then the force is equal to that of the friction.


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object the net force that results is?

When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object, the net force that results is equal to zero.


What condition does an object on which a constant force is applied have a zero acceleration?

An equal and opposite force is also applied to the object, so that the vector sum of all the forces on it is zero.


When the net force on an object is zero we say that the two forces are?

When the net force on an object is zero, the two forces acting on the object are balanced or equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This is known as equilibrium.


When the forces on an object produce a net force of zero the forces are?

equal and opposite


How do you cause momentum to be zero?

To make the momentum of an object zero, you need to ensure that the object is at rest or its velocity is zero. This can be achieved by balancing the forces acting on the object, such that the net force is zero and the object does not accelerate. In simple terms, if the initial momentum of the object is non-zero, you can make it zero by applying an equal and opposite force to cancel out the momentum.


What is th resultant force between balanced force?

When there are balanced forces acting on an object, the resultant force is zero. This means that the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no acceleration of the object.


Is gravitational force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?

No. Gravitational force is directed DOWNward. The weight of the displaced fluid is another force, directed UPward. If they happen to be equal, then the net force on the object is zero and it floats. But they don't have to be equal.


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.


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 net or unbalanced force?

A net force is the overall force acting on an object, which is calculated by adding up all the individual forces. If the net force is not zero, the object will accelerate. An unbalanced force occurs when the net force is not equal to zero, resulting in a change in the object's motion.
