though different terminology is used. Motion is thought of in acceleration and velocity. Now, velocity is just the distance covered over an amount of time, or speed. Acceleration is the change in speed. In general terms, any object that is standing still is being acted upon by equal and opposite forces, and if one of those forces was changed, then the object would undergo acceleration. Think of a person holding a coffee cup. Gravity is working on the object to pull it down, and his or her arm is pulling equally in the opposite direction to keep it up. If the person were to let go, there wouldn't be the upward force, and the cup would accelerate towards the Earth, and its "motion" would be changed.

TRUE!

True or false does balanced forces cause a change in motion?

False. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.


Is balanced forced cannot accelerate an object true or false?

False. A balanced force does not accelerate an object, but an unbalanced force is required to change the motion of an object.


Is it true or false that balanced forces can change an object's direction?

False. Balanced forces do not change an object's direction. Balanced forces only keep an object at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line. If an object changes direction, unbalanced forces are acting on it.


Is it false that a strong magnet will cause a larger change in motion than a weak magnet?

No, that statement is false. The strength of a magnet affects the magnetic field it generates but not necessarily the change in motion it causes. The change in motion is determined by factors such as mass, distance, and the magnetic field's influence on an object.


Any time the forces are balanced an object will remain at rest true of false?

false


Balance force can change an object's direction?

false


Balanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate True or false?

false


Is this true or false balanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity?

False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.


if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?

If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.


what; forces cause SOME changes in motion true or false?

True. Changes in motion are caused by forces acting on an object, such as gravity, friction, air resistance, and applied forces. These forces can either speed up, slow down, change the direction, or stop the motion of an object.


Is it true or false that balanced forces on an object cause the object the object to accelerate?

False. Balanced forces on an object do not cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration occurs when there is an unbalanced force acting on an object. Balanced forces result in no net force acting on the object, keeping it at a constant velocity or at rest.


Is it false that balance forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?

Yes, it is false that balanced forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. When forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.
