Yes, friction can be involved, as one of the forces. For example, if I push against this heavy desk in front of mine with a force of 100N, and it doesn't budge, that means there is a contrary force of 100N. That force, of course, is friction.

When does an object stop?

An object stops when the forces acting on it result in a net force of zero, causing it to reach a state of equilibrium. This can occur when the forces are balanced, such as when the force of friction is equal and opposite to the applied force.


What does balanced and un balanced forces?

Balanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are equal in size and opposite in direction, causing no change in the object's motion. Unbalanced forces occur when the two forces are unequal in size, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force.


How do you that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

The other force being applied, opposing to the object's static friction would both be equal therefore the forces are balancing.


What is the diffence between balanced and unbalanced force?

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 are the all different types of forces?

Gravity, Friction, Air resistance, Turning, Moments, pressure, upthrust, balanced forces, unbalanced forces. there are some of the forces that are well known.


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.


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.


How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object?

Objects move according to their net force, or the total amount of force acting on them. Balanced forces are just that, balanced. An object with balanced forces will not move because the opposing forces will cancel each other out. However, if there are unbalanced forces, the object will move in accordance with the force that is greater. When moving though, there is always friction. Whether you be underwater, on the ground, or in the air there is always friction on the Earth. (Besides vacuums, of course.) Force is equal to mass x acceleration. With that you can find the forces of the object if you know its mass and acceleration.


How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on objects?

Static friction only acts upon objects at rest, otherwise it would be dynamic friction. An object at rest is known to have balancing forces, otherwise it would accelerate. This is Newton's Second Law of Motion.


Are the forces on a car that is traveling at a steady speed balanced or unbalanced?

The forces on a car traveling at a steady speed are balanced. The driving force from the engine is balanced by the resistive forces such as friction and air resistance. This balance allows the car to maintain a constant speed.


Forces or things that occur in nature?

Gravity, electromagnetism, friction, and wind are forces that occur in nature. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, lightning, and tornadoes are natural phenomena that occur in nature.


Does a stationary object contain friction?

A stationary object does not experience friction if all external forces acting on it are balanced. Friction only comes into play when there is relative motion or an attempt to move the object.
