How do you determine the net force on an objects if all forces act in the same direction?

If all of the individual forces on an object act in the same direction, then the net force on it is simply the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces, and is in the same direction as all of them.


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.

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.


Action-reaction forces always act on what kind of objects?

Action-reaction forces always act on two different objects. When object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. This is known as Newton's third law of motion.


What forces can make an object stop moving?

Friction, air resistance, and opposing forces like gravity can all act on an object to make it stop moving. These forces create resistance against the object's motion, eventually bringing it to a halt.

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.

Two or more forces that act on an object that do not cancel each other?

If the sum of all forces acting upon an object is not zero, then the object will accelerate. (Newton's first law)


Can an object be in equilibrium when three forces act on it and all at different angles?

yea

How do unbalanced forces affect forces?

Forces don't affect forces. FORCES act on OBJECTS.If there is an unbalanced force, that means that the sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero.


Can balanced forces act on moving object?

Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.


Are there any unusual ways forces can act in pairs?

Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points. Thus, even if you have forces of equal magnitude in opposite directions, the object can start to rotate.Thus, there are two conditions for an object to be in equilibrium:1. The sum of all forces is zero.2. The sum of all torques is zero.Torque is the term used for forces that can cause rotation.Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points.

What is the difference between balanced forces and action and reaction forces?

"Action and reaction" refers to Newton's Third Law. Forces always come in pairs; if object "A" pushes against object "B", then object "B" will push back against object "A". Which of these two forces is called the "action", and which the "reaction", is often arbitrary."Balanced forces" is unrelated to the above; when forces are "balanced", it means that the vector sum of all the forces that act on the same object are zero. Please note that "action and reaction" forces are forces that act on different objects, so the forces on a single object are not necessarily balanced.
