An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion

How do balanced forces acting on an object affect its motion. How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affect its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?

Yes, it is possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it. This situation could occur if the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in a state of equilibrium where there is no net force causing motion.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


Do all forces acting on an object result to its motion?

Not necessarily. Forces can act on an object even if it is not in motion, causing it to accelerate or just balance out other forces. The net force on an object determines its motion, accounting for all forces acting on it.


Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have a force acting on it?

Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.


How do balance forces acting on an object affect its motion?

When the forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out and the result is no change in its motion.Balanced forces have no effect on motion. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affects it's motions?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


Do all forces acting on objects cause motion?

If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).


What are the forces acting on a moving object?

The forces acting on a moving object include: gravity, friction, air resistance, and any applied forces such as pushing or pulling. These forces can affect the speed, direction, and motion of the object.


What is the sum of all forces acting on an object is known as the force?

The sum of all forces acting on an object is called the net force. It is the overall force that accounts for both the magnitude and direction of all individual forces acting on the object. The net force determines the motion of the object according to Newton's laws of motion.


Will unbalanced forces acting on an object change its motion?

An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate.Its acceleration is (the vector sum of all the forces)/(the object's mass) .


What are unbalanced forces and what?

Balanced forces describes when all forces on an object are equal. Unbalanced forces describes when the forces on an object are unequal, resulting in movement. Forces are balanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, at which point the object will be at rest or be in motion with constant velocity. Forces are unbalanced when the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is greater or less than zero, at which point the object will accelerate by either starting motion from rest, or changing its motion if it is already in motion, for example, by changing direction or speed.
