Is an unbalanced desk an example of an unbalanced force?

No, an unbalanced desk is not an example of an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force refers to a force that causes motion or a change in motion, while an unbalanced desk is simply an object that is not level.


If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced the net force is not what?

If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero. A non-zero net force will cause acceleration or deceleration of the object according to Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.


What is a force that pulls on an object and causes acceleration if not balanced by an opposing force?

Generally it is just called an unbalanced force. A net force is the result of one or more unbalanced forces and results in an acceleration. An example of an unbalanced force is the force of gravity.(which is the answer to a typical quiz question)


Can an unbalanced force change its velocity?

From Newton's Second Law, F=m*a.If we have an unbalanced force, or net force, acting on the object (F not equal to 0), Newton's 2nd law states that the object must either experience a net acceleration (non-zero too) or a mass change(which is too weird to consider here). So, we'll just say that, from N's 2nd law, an unbalanced (net) force causes the object to have a net acceleration of anything but 0 m/s^2.Then, since acceleration = (change in velocity)/(change in time), a non-zero acceleration must mean that there is a change in velocity.Therefore, an unbalanced force means non-zero acceleration, which causes the velocity to change.


Give one example of an unbalanced force?

unbalanced forces cause acceleration, an object in freefall has gravity as an unbalanced force.

What is an unbalanced fprce?

An unbalance force is one that is not opposed by an equal and opposite force operating directly against the force. Examples of unbalanced force are when you kick a ball, or slide furniture across the floor.

What is the net force equal too when there are unbalanced forces?

The net force on any object is the vector sum of all the forces acting on it, whether they are balanced or not. In the case of unbalanced forces, the net force will be non-zero.


What is the number of an unbalanced force?

Any positive or negative (non zero) number in a direction.


When do you say that the force is unbalanced?

When an object accelerates, the force is unbalanced.

What is another word for unbalanced force?

Unbalanced force means the Net Force. So if there was a force of 6N to the left and 4N to the right the unbalanced or net force would be 2N to the left.


Is inertia balanced or unbalanced force?

-- "Inertia" is not a force. -- There is no such thing as a single balanced force or a single unbalanced force.


What is true of an unbalanced force?

An unbalanced force means that the vector sum of all forces acting on an object is NOT zero. Such an unbalanced force will result in an acceleration.


What unbalanced force?

Unbalanced forces are forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object.
