Since Fnet = ma... and when Fnet > 0


then substituting for Fnet with ma you get: ma > 0


assuming a non-zero mass, then a > 0.

Is it possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without the object's speed changing?

Yes, it is possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without changing its speed. This can happen if the force is acting perpendicular to the direction of motion, resulting in a change in direction but not speed (as in circular motion).


What is unbalanced force?

An unbalanced force is when there is a net force acting on an object that is not canceled out by another force, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force. This can lead to changes in the object's speed and/or direction of motion.


When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?

When a nonzero net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object, as described by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).


When a nonzero net forces acts an object the force?

changes the motion of the object


What is nonzero net force?

It means that the vector sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero - if there is more than one force, the vectors don't cancel each other completely. In this case, there will be an acceleration.


What is an exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force called?

The answer to your question is Work. The definition of work is: "When a force acts against resistance to produce motion in a body, the force is said to do work." - The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics... Which means the exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force.


If you add together all of the forces exerted on an object and get a nonzero value this is called the bank force on the object?

The sum of all the forces acting on an object is called the net force, not bank force. The net force determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law, F = ma. If the net force is zero, the object will remain at constant velocity or at rest.


What causes objects to move or stay still?

Objects move or stay still based on the balance of forces acting upon them. If the net force is nonzero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. If all forces are balanced (net force is zero), the object will remain still or continue at a constant velocity.


What unbalanced force?

Unbalanced forces are forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object.


Can the net force acting on an object be negative?

No, the net force acting on an object cannot be negative.


What is the upwars force acting on an object?

The upward force acting on an object is the normal force. It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction to the object's weight.


What happens to an object when it experiences a nonzero external force?

When an object experiences a nonzero external force, it accelerates in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). The object's velocity changes, causing it to either speed up, slow down, or change direction depending on the direction of the force.
