The forces acting on the car are unbalanced because it is accelerating by changing direction, even though it has constant speed. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration (change in motion). That is what Newton's first law of motion is about.

Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


Do balanced forces cause motion?

No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.


What are the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on 4 objects?

Balanced forces on an object result in no change in its motion, as the forces cancel each other out. Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force applied. For a stationary object, balanced forces maintain its position, while unbalanced forces cause it to start moving. An object moving at a constant velocity experiences balanced forces, while unbalanced forces can change its speed or direction.


If an object is moving at a constant speed are the forces on it balanced or unbalanced?

If an object is moving at a constant speed, the forces acting on it are balanced. This means that the forces pushing in one direction are equal to the forces pushing in the opposite direction, resulting in no change in the object's speed or direction.


What does a unbalanced force cause that a balanced force doesnt?

There is no such thing as "a balanced force" or "a unbalanced force". Only a group of two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced. An unbalanced group of forces acting on an object causes accelerated motion of the object. A balanced group of forces doesn't.

How can you tell if a force is balanced or unbalanced by looking at it?

2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.


Why are balanced and unbalanced forces used?

Balanced forces are used to keep an object at rest or moving at a constant velocity, while unbalanced forces are used to accelerate or decelerate an object. Both types of forces are necessary to understand the motion of objects and how they interact with their environment.


Infer whether balanced forces must be acting on a car moving at a constant speed?

Yes, if a car is moving at a constant speed, balanced forces must be acting on it. This means that the force pushing the car forward is equal to the resistive forces acting against it (like friction and air resistance), resulting in zero net force and a constant velocity.


Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when you push a box of books until it is moving at 0.5 miles per second?

During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion. Balanced forces produce no change.It's kind of funny that you're pushing your box 1800 miles per hour, though! :)


How will you know whether the given applied force on an object is balanced or unbalanced?

You must firstly know it's physical details and it's conditions (The objects'). If you apply a balanced wave of force it will maintain those physical details and conditions but if you apply an unbalanced wave to the object it will suffer from maintaining it's physical details and conditions. Also when the object is not moving or when the object is moving at a constant velocity and if at it's moving it doesn't have any changing velocity (Acceleration) it will mean the applied force is balanced. Other than this, is unbalanced.


Is unbalance force necessary to maintain constant speed?

No force is necessary to maintain constant speed.A balanced group of forces is equivalent to no force.An unbalanced group of forces is equivalent to someforce,which is capable of changing the speed of something.


Are there unbalanced or balanced forces on the moon?

Must be unbalanced. Otherwise, the moon would be moving at constant speed in a straight line.
