Force causes acceleration, not motion. A moving object undergoing zero net force will continue to move in the same direction at the same speed.

What happens to the motion of an object when it experiences a zero net force?

When an object experiences a zero net force, its motion remains unchanged.


Does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


When does force cause motion?

An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.


If for every action there is an equal reaction how does motion occur when the net force is zero?

The motion of an object upon which the net force is zero exhibits zero acceleration. The object's speed is a constant ... which may be zero ... and the motion is in a straight line


How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?

If an object experiences a zero net force, it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line according to Newton's first law of motion. This means the object's motion will not change unless acted upon by an external force.


If the net force on an object is zero will the objects motion change?

No, if the net force on an object is zero, the object will continue in its current state of motion (either at rest or moving at a constant velocity). The object will not accelerate or decelerate without a net force acting on it.


Does rolling friction always reduce the net force acting on against an objects motion to zero?

The net force will be zero only if the velocity is constant, which means acceleration is zero.


A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?

The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".


Objects at rest or in uniform motion have what acting on them?

zero net force


How can you tell if the net force is zero?

you can tell only if there is no motion or movement.


When more than one force is acting on and object the blank determines the motion of the object?

Net force determines the motion of the object. If the net force acting on an object is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.


If a non zero net force acts on an object what does the object do?

-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
