That would be balanced, because the motorboat is not increasing in speed or decreasing in speed.

Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


Do balanced forces cause motion?

No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.


What happens when forces are balanced and unbalanced?

When forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity. When forces are unbalanced, there is a net force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.


What does a unbalanced force cause that a balanced force doesnt?

There is no such thing as "a balanced force" or "a unbalanced force". Only a group of two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced. An unbalanced group of forces acting on an object causes accelerated motion of the object. A balanced group of forces doesn't.


What are the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on 4 objects?

Balanced forces on an object result in no change in its motion, as the forces cancel each other out. Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force applied. For a stationary object, balanced forces maintain its position, while unbalanced forces cause it to start moving. An object moving at a constant velocity experiences balanced forces, while unbalanced forces can change its speed or direction.

What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?

An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.

How do balanced forces and unbalanced forces differ?

* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.

Why are balanced and unbalanced forces used?

Balanced forces are used to keep an object at rest or moving at a constant velocity, while unbalanced forces are used to accelerate or decelerate an object. Both types of forces are necessary to understand the motion of objects and how they interact with their environment.


Is a car balanced or unbalanced when turninng while moving at a constant speed?

The forces acting on the car are unbalanced because it is accelerating by changing direction, even though it has constant speed. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration (change in motion). That is what Newton's first law of motion is about.


If an unbalanced force acts on an object will it move at constant velocity?

No, an unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate, not move at a constant velocity. The object will continue to accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force until a balanced force is applied.


What happens when moments are unbalanced or balanced?

When moments are unbalanced, it means that there is a net torque acting on an object, causing it to rotate. This can result in rotational motion or change in angular velocity. When moments are balanced, the total torque acting on the object is zero, resulting in either no rotation or constant angular velocity.
