Can a body have forces applied on it but will not accelerate justify your answer?

Newton's second law states that when forces an unbalanced force is applied to an object it will accelerate in the formula: Fnet=mawhere F is the sum of the forces mass and a is the acceleration.A body can have no acceleration if the sum of all the forces is 0. So therefore forces can be applied, but they must have an equal and opposite force canceling them out. A=F/M so when F is 0, A is 0.So if there is constant velocity on an object it will not accelerate!---------Example:If you keep riding your bike in a certain direction at 5 m/s constantly, there is constant velocity present and no acceleration :D


If there are two equal and opposite forces on something you say the forces are?

You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.


What is an unblanced force?

An unbalanced force is when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate or change its motion. This can occur when there is a greater force acting in one direction compared to opposing forces.


What is the definition of unblanced forces?

Balanced forces are forces that are balanced and there is no change in motion. Unblanced forces are the opposite of a balanced force. that means that unbalanced forces are not balanced and there is a change in motion.


Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?

Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.

Can an object be at be at rest if forces are being applied to it?

Yes, if the forces are equal and acting in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero and that object can be said to be at rest.

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.

If all forces are equal and opposite how does anything accelerate?

Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite. By Newton's Third Law, if object A attracts object B, then object B also attracts object A - with an equal but opposite force. But those forces act on DIFFERENT objects! The forces on object A, and on object B, may be unbalanced!Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite.

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?

Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.

What are the same about balanced force and unbalanced?

Both balanced and unbalanced forces can cause an object to move; however, balanced forces result in no change in an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate or decelerate.


How can forces acting on an object be unbalanced?

Forces acting on an object are unbalanced when the individual forces do not cancel each other out. This can happen when the forces have different magnitudes or directions, causing a net force on the object. As a result, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.


What is the name of the greatest velocity a falling object can reach?

Terminal velocity. It occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the force applied by air resistance in the opposite direction. With equal and opposite forces the object can not accelerate and falls at a constant speed. Every object has a different terminal velocity and depending on the surface area, can also be manipulated
