Some do and some don't.

In the case of someone sitting on a chair, they exert a downward force on the chair due to their weight. The chair exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on them but, since this upward force acting on the person is equal to their weight, the net force is zero and the person does not accelerate.

However, consider now if the person pushed themselves up off the chair with their hands. They are now exerting an additional force on the chair with their arms along with the force due to their weight. The chair will exert a reaction force on the person that is equal and opposite to the combined downward force due to the person's weight and their arms pushing. Since it is equal to the weight plus the pushing force of the arms, it will be greater than the downward force on the person due to their weight and a net upward force will be produced, accelerating the person upwards.

What are some forces that can start motion?

Forces are motion:gravitational force causes things to fall, Elastic spring force allows springs to be compressed or stretched and frictional force causes heat, but without motion, there's no heat, so basically, what I'm trying to say is, ALL the forces produce motion


What is one or more forces acting on a single object which produce a change called?

Forces acting on an object that produce a change in its motion are known as net force. Net force is calculated by combining all the individual forces acting on the object in the same direction.


Do all forces acting on an object result to its motion?

Not necessarily. Forces can act on an object even if it is not in motion, causing it to accelerate or just balance out other forces. The net force on an object determines its motion, accounting for all forces acting on it.


Forces will cause all what?

Forces are considered balanced when all of the combined forces lead to no change in the motion of the object.


Do all forces cause a change in motion?

yes it depends if you push or pull if you do then thats motion


Do all forces always cause motion?

-- First of all, motion doesn't require any force.-- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, then the object's motion changes. Always.-- If the forces on an object are balanced, then the object's motion doesn't change.


What do all forces have in common?

All forces involve the interactions between objects, causing changes in motion or deformation. They are described by magnitude, direction, and point of application. Forces obey Newton's laws of motion and can be classified as contact forces or action-at-a-distance forces.


Can all vibratory motion produce sound?

no


Do all forces acting on objects cause motion?

If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).


What do all laws of motion and forces have in common?

it smels like you


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.


All changes in motion are caused by?

forces acting on an object. These forces can be contact forces, such as friction or pushing, or non-contact forces, such as gravity or magnetism. Changes in motion can also occur due to changes in mass or acceleration.
