What are the forces of a stationary boat?

The forces acting on a stationary boat in still water are gravity acting downwards, buoyancy acting upwards, and drag acting to oppose any external forces like wind or current. These forces are balanced when the boat is stationary.


Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest xy?

There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.


Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest?

Yes, even when a car is at rest, there are still forces acting on it. The two main forces are the force of gravity, pulling the car downward towards the ground, and the normal force exerted by the ground on the car to keep it stationary.


What are the forces on a car that begins from stationary and then accelerates until it reaches its top speed?

When a car accelerates from stationary to its top speed, the main forces acting on it are the driving force from the engine (propelling the car forward), frictional force between the tires and the road (opposing motion), and air resistance (opposing motion as speed increases). Additionally, the car's weight is always acting downwards.


If a book remains stationary on a table are the forces acting upon the book in equilibrium what is the resultant of the force acting upon the book?

Yes, if a book is stationary on a table, the forces acting on it are in equilibrium. The resultant force acting on the book would be zero, as the forces are balanced and there is no net force causing any acceleration or movement.

Are there any balanced forces acting on the freezer if so what are they?

Yes, if a freezer is at a constant velocity or stationary, there are balanced forces acting on it. Typically, these forces include the gravitational force acting downward and the normal force acting upward from the surface on which the freezer rests.


Can you say about the no forces acting on a stationary object?

If the object is not moving, then the only thing you can be sure of is that since it's not accelerating, all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. Just the fact that it's not moving is not enough information to tell you that there are no forces on it.


What is the net force acting on a pencil?

The net force on a stationary pencil is zero, as all the forces acting on it are balanced. If the pencil is in motion, the net force will depend on the sum of all forces acting on it and their respective directions.


Forces acting on a fast car?

what about it?lolololololol


What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?

The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.


How are the forces on a moving car balanced Surely if thrust and air resistance are equal the car will be stationary.?

No, that's not the way our Universe works. I suggest do some reading on Newton's Second Law - for instance, in the Wikipedia. Briefly, you do NOT need a NET force to keep an object moving. With a net force of zero (i.e., balanced forces): * A stationary object will remain stationary * A moving object will continue moving, at constant velocity.
