An object will only moved if it is acted upon by unbalanced forces. This means that it either need something pushing or pulling on only one side of the object, or for the two forces to be unequal, making one stronger.

What does Newton's third law state?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.


What describes unequal forces acting on an object - results in change in the object's motion?

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. ============================


Which law of motion gives measure of force?

2 nd law of motion Force F=ma, gives te measure of force.


Is it true Newton's First Law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and a object in motion stays in motion with a force that is equal to its propelling force?

No, Newton's First Law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. There is no mention of the force being equal to the propelling force.


What is newtons first law of motion summarized?

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This is also known as the law of inertia.

A change in velocity due to an unbalenced force is?

Acceleration


Definition of unbalenced force?

An unbalanced force is a force that causes a change in an object's motion by not being countered by an equal and opposite force. This results in acceleration or deceleration of the object in the direction of the unbalanced force.


The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?

centripetal force


To start or change the motion of an object do you need unbalanced force or balanced force?

Doesn't matter Balanced Force would mean the object is traveling at a constant velocity due to Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) Unbalenced Force would mean the object is accelerating (or decellerating) due to Newton's Second Law of Motion


Why are balenced and unbalenced forces different?

"Balanced" means that the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero."Unbalanced" means that the sum of all such forces is NOT zero. (The "sum" refers to a vector sum.) An unbalanced force will result in an acceleration; a balanced force won't.


Does force have size and motion?

Force has size, which is how much force put into somethig, e.g., 10 Newtons of force. It has motion because force is basically motion, because force can be unbalanced or balanced, and unbalanced causes motion, and is basically motion.


What does a unbalenced force on an object do?

An unbalanced force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. This acceleration may result in the object speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction depending on the magnitude and direction of the force.


Effects that force can have on motion?

FRICTION and inertia that force can have on motion


Force that resits motion?

Force that resists motion is frictional force, viscous drag


How does force affect an object's motion?

When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. Newtons 2nd law of motion states: An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force. If a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.


Is motion a force?

Motion is not a force; it is the change in position of an object over time. Force, on the other hand, is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion. Forces can accelerate, decelerate, or change the direction of motion.


What does Newton's third law state?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
