What else can I help you with?
How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.
What condition does a moving object be in equilibrium?
A moving object can be in equilibrium if the vector sum of all the forces acting on it is zero. This means that the object is not accelerating in any direction, and its velocity remains constant.
When an object is at rest what are the forces acting on it?
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.

How do you determine equilibrium and resultant?
To determine equilibrium, you need to check if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero. If the forces cancel each other out, the object is in equilibrium. Resultant force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account the magnitude and direction of all individual forces acting on it. Mathematically, it is calculated by adding or subtracting all individual forces vectorially.
If an object is not accelerating what can you determint about the sum of all the orces on the object?
In that case, the sum of all forces must be zero.
What does the term balance mean?
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.

What is acting on the object if balanced forces are acting on an object?
No. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the forces are balanced, their sum (net force) will be zero, and the object will either be at rest or be moving at constant velocity in a straight line. If the vector sum of the forces is greater or less than zero, then the object will be accelerating, which means it will be undergoing a change in motion.
How do you determine the net force on an object if all forces in the same direction?
Just add up the magnitude of all those forces.
Is it true that on a level surface applied forces equals weight?
No, on a level surface, the sum of all applied forces equals zero if the object is not accelerating. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
What is determined by combining forces?
When combining forces, the resulting force is determined by adding up the individual forces vectorially. This means considering the direction and magnitude of each force to determine the overall effect on an object's motion or equilibrium. The combined force may result in an object accelerating, decelerating, changing direction, or remaining at rest, depending on the net force.
