2, Gravity and Friction (aka wind resistance). The body will reach terminal velocity when the air it is passing through creates enough friction so that it equals the force of gravity therefore stopping any further acceleration.

Can balance force bring a body to rest?

Balanced forces cannot bring a body to rest. Balanced forces can act on a body which is already at rest or in motion but equal forces cannot change a bodies acceleration, kinetic energy or momentum.


Does no force act on a body at rest?

If a body is at rest ... or traveling at a constant speed in a straight line ... there could well be millions of forces acting on it. The only conclusion you can draw from the fact that it has no acceleration is that all the forces acting on it must add up to zero.


If body A and body B are both within a system can forces between them affect the acceleration of the system?

Yes, if body A and body B interact with each other through forces, these forces can affect the net acceleration of the entire system. The net acceleration of the system is determined by the external forces acting on the system and the forces between the bodies within the system.


When can a body stay at rest even though forces act on it?

A body can stay at rest even though forces act on it when the forces acting on the body are balanced, meaning they cancel each other out. This balance of forces results in no net force acting on the body, allowing it to remain at rest.


What occurs when forces acting upon a body are not balance?

When forces acting on a body are unbalanced, the body will experience acceleration in the direction of the net force. This acceleration causes the body to change its velocity, resulting in motion. The body will continue to accelerate until the forces acting upon it become balanced.

Can a body be accelarated by outside forces?

Yes. In fact, a body can ONLY be accelerated by outside forces.

What is it when forces on an object are equal?

When forces on a body are equal, the body stays still. The forces have to be equal in strength but the direction of application should be exactly opposite.


How does an atmosphere differ from space?

Atmosphere is the space surrounding any planetry body where the body exerts its gravitational pull. Space is anything / everything beyond the atmosphere

When do forces balance?

Balanced forces occur when a body is at rest, and when a body is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction.


What are equilibrium of coplanar forces?

equilbrium in coplaner forces at rigid body.


What forces are in the human body?

The human body experiences several forces, including gravity, muscular forces generated by muscle contractions, and external forces such as pressure and impact from physical activities. Additionally, internal forces within the body, such as tension in ligaments and compression in bones, also play a role in maintaining the body's structure and movement.
