What is true of newtons first law the law of inertia it only describes motion when forces are unbalanced?
Newton's First Law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This means that the law primarily describes the behavior of objects when no net force is acting on them or when forces are balanced. It highlights the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion, emphasizing the concept of inertia. When forces are unbalanced, the law indicates that the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

What is the definition of unbalanced foces?
-- A group of two or more forces is unbalanced when the vector sumof its individual component forces is not zero.-- A group of two or more forces is balanced when the vector sumof its individual component forces is zero.Notice that it's not the forces that are balanced or unbalanced.It's the whole group of them that's balanced or unbalanced.
If the net force is zero is the force balanced or unbalanced?
The the forces are unbalanced, that means that the net force is non-zero.
Why is the first law called law of inertia?
the first law of motion deals with inertia. it describes about the inertia or the tendency of a body to remain in rest or uniform motion.more over, implicit in the discussion of Newton's first law is the concept of an inertial reference frame, which for the purposes of Newtonian mechanics is defined to be a reference frame in which Newton's first law holds true.There is a class of frames of reference (called inertial frames) relative to which the motion of a particle not subject to forces is a straight line.hence newtons first law is also called law of inertia.
What are the three types of forces according to newtons first law?
Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis" in 1686. His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force resulting from unbalanced forces acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out), then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. And if an additional external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force. The amount of the change in velocity is determined by Newton's second law of motion.
What are similarities between balanced forces and action reaction forces?
There is no such thing as a balanced force or an unbalanced force. A groupof two or more forces may be balanced or unbalanced. The group of forces isbalanced if the vector sum of all the forces in the group is zero.
What happends if forces are unbalanced?
Movment. Ex.> force of 10 newtons-><-force of 5 newtons movement of 5 newtons->
Can unbalanced forces cause an object to move?
yes
What is balanced force and unbalanced measured in?
Balanced forces are measured in newtons or pounds, reflecting the equal and opposite forces acting on an object. Unbalanced forces are also measured in newtons or pounds, representing the unequal forces causing a change in motion or acceleration.
Describes forces when the net force on an object is not zero n?
unbalanced
What is the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity inertia and friction?
Unbalanced Forces will try to create Motion (Kinetic Energy), balanced Forces do not result in Motion. Gravity, Inertia, and Friction will all try to resist the Motion of the object....unless the Force is in the direction of the Gravitational attraction, then the affect is additive.
What is it called when motion of an object will not change if no unbalanced forces act on it?
That is called "inertia". It is also called "Newton's Second Law of motion".
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when a car is setting off?
Unbalanced. The rotational force upon the drive wheels must be greater than the force of inertia in order for the car to begin moving.
What are examples of balanced force and unbalanced force?
Examples: Balanced: Two kids are playing tug of war. They are both exerting 4 Newtons of force. (Balanced forces=0 Newtons) Unbalanced: Two kids are playing tug of war. One kid is exerting 6 Newtons of force, the other is exerting 7 Newtons of force. (Unbalanced forces=1 or more Newtons difference[7N-6N=1N) Just because the forces are balanced, doesn't mean that they have to be less than the unbalanced forces. N=Newton
What are unbalanced forces and what?
Balanced forces describes when all forces on an object are equal. Unbalanced forces describes when the forces on an object are unequal, resulting in movement. Forces are balanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, at which point the object will be at rest or be in motion with constant velocity. Forces are unbalanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is greater or less than zero, at which point the object will accelerate by either starting motion from rest, or changing its motion if it is already in motion, for example, by changing direction or speed.
What happens when an unbalanced force acts on an objects?
as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
How forces change motion?
unbalanced forces...like gravity, friction, or an applied force
What are forces that do not completely offset one another called?
It it called balanced forces.
