No. There may be forces on the body but they are balanced so that the net force is zero. For example a plate on a table is not accelerating but there is a gravity force towards the earth and the table creates a balancing force. Thus the plate just sets there not accelerating. This Newton's Third Law in action.

When a force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?

Changing the magnitude or direction of forces exerted on an object changes the net force (sum of all forces) exerted on the object. The net force exerted on an object is defined as mass times acceleration (F = ma), where mass, m, is constant. This means that when the net force exerted on the object changes in magnitude (or direction), its acceleration will also change in magnitude (or direction). In addition, acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, so when the magnitude (or direction) of acceleration changes, the magnitude (or direction) of velocity will also change.


Which Newton laws of motion describes how the forces exerted on an object its mass and its acceleration of related?

His Second Law.


The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?

an object's mass


What does the acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted?

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted on it, according to Newton's second law of motion. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be.


When a force is exerted on an object an equal and opposite force is exerted by the object. These forces are referred to as?

Action-Reaction Forces.


What can be calculated by dividing the force exerted on the object by the mass of the object?

That's the object's acceleration.


If you add together all of the forces exerted on an object and get a non zero value this is called?

net


The force exerted by a scale on an object is the?

The force exerted on a scale by an object and other forces acting.


The force that results from combining all the forces exerted on an object?

That's the 'resultant' of all the forces, and the 'net force' on the object.


When an object has balanced forces exerted on it the object is?

un-accelerated


How can one determine the force exerted by an object based on its velocity?

The force exerted by an object can be determined based on its velocity by using the formula: force mass x acceleration. When an object is moving at a certain velocity, its acceleration can be calculated using the change in velocity over time. By multiplying the mass of the object by its acceleration, one can determine the force exerted.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affects it's motions?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
