What net force is acting on an immobile object?

If an object is immobile, it means that the net force acting on it is zero. This is in accordance with Newton's First Law of Motion which states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


When you throw an object why it rotates about its own axis?

When an object is thrown, any slight differences in force or direction on different sides of the object cause it to rotate around its center of mass. This rotation is due to the conservation of angular momentum, as the object's initial spin will continue unless acted upon by an external force.


What has a higher acceleration a 10-kg object acted upon with a net force of 20 N or an 18-kg object acted on by a net force of 30 N?

Acceleration = (force)/(mass)For the first object, A = 20/10 = 2 m/s2For the second object, A = 30/18 = 12/3 m/s2The acceleration of the first object is 20% greaterthan the acceleration of the second one.


An object at rest remains at rest until acted upon by another force?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


What is the statement of Newton's first law of motion?

Newton's First LawAn object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an external force. An object in motion continues in motion in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.Newton's first law is sometimes referred to as the law of inertia.Inertial is the characteristic of a mass to resist a change in motion. The second law quantifies the inertia as mass.There are various ways of saying this, but ultimately is says that the motion of a body is unchanged unless it is acted on by a force.

If an object falls of a shelf how do you know a force as acted on it?

You know a force has acted on the object because the objects velocity has changed as the result of a force, f= mdv/dt.


What would happen if an object at rest or in motion was acted upon by an inside force?

If an object at rest is acted upon by an inside force, it would cause the object to move. If an object in motion is acted upon by an inside force, it can change the object's speed, direction, or both depending on the direction and magnitude of the force.


When a force makes an object tends to rotate?

When a force is applied to an object, causing it to rotate, this force creates a torque. Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis or pivot point. The magnitude of the torque depends on the force applied and the distance from the pivot point.


What is a force the is exerted on an object?

torque


Is torque a force and how does it relate to the concept of force in physics?

Torque is not a force itself, but it is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. In physics, torque is related to force through the concept of leverage and the distance from the point of rotation. The greater the torque applied, the greater the rotational force exerted on an object.


Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force it stays at rest due to its?

Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force, it stays at rest due to its inertia.


How do you calculate the net torque acting on an object?

To calculate the net torque acting on an object, you multiply the force applied to the object by the distance from the point of rotation. The formula is: Net Torque Force x Distance.


When the velocity of an object changes it is acted upon what?

Force


A moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will what?

d


What is the law of inertia for rotating systems in terms of angular momentum?

The law of inertia for rotating systems in terms of angular momentum states that an object will maintain its angular momentum unless acted upon by an external torque. This is a rotational equivalent of Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.


Is there any torque if force is zero?

NO. not at all b/c torque is directly related to force


What do you call the turning effect of a force?

The turning effect of a force is called torque. Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis.
