What happens when the forces aren't balanced while sitting on a chair?
Whenever there are unbalanced forces, an object will accelerate. If you are sitting on a chair and there are unbalanced forces, you will start to move.
What action and reaction forces are present when you are sitting in a chair?
When you sit in a chair your gravitational weight down on the chair and the chair pushes up to counteract
When you are sitting in a chair at rest are the forces acting on you balanced or unbalanced?
Yes, the forces that are balanced are firstly weight and the other is reaction of ground.
What action and reaction forces are presented when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight exerts a downward force, while the chair exerts an upward force equal in magnitude to your weight.
How is it that when you're sitting on a chair you aren't really sitting on the chair?
Gravity holds you to the Earth, so if it holds you, it holds the chair and can hold you to the chair...

What action forces and reaction forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body
What are the forces acting on sitting still?
The chair in pushing you up and the gravity pushing you down
When a person sits on a chair what are the action and reaction?
When a person is sitting still in a chair, the action and reaction forces meet along his bottom. The 'action' is directed downward and is the person's weight, the result of the gravitational attraction between the Earth's mass and the person's mass. The 'reaction' is directed upward, and is the force developed in the structural materials of the floor and the chair. Since the action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, the net force on the person's bottom is zero, and he does not accelerate vertically.
What examples of balanced forces are used in the real world?
Sitting in a chair, gravity is pulling down while the chair is holding you up does this answer your question??
When you are sitting in a chair at rest are the forces acting on you balanced or unbalanced?
Yes, the forces that are balanced are firstly weight and the other is reaction of ground.
What actions and reactions forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body

What colour is the chair you are sitting on?
I am not sitting in a chair!
