If unbalanced forces act on an object, the motion of that object will change. Remember, force equals mass times acceleration.

Is it true any time the force are unbalanced an object will remain at rest?

No, when the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. If the forces are unbalanced and the object is already moving, its speed or direction of motion will change.


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.


A force can be a push or a pull that if unbalanced can cause a change in an object's motion?

Yes, that is correct. Forces are interactions that can cause an object to accelerate or change its direction, speed, or shape. They can be classified as either contact forces (pushes or pulls that require physical contact) or non-contact forces (such as gravity or magnetic forces). When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.


When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced the net force is zero true or false?

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body.


Is the following sentence true 'unbalanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity'?

Yes, the statement is true. Unbalanced forces acting on an object will cause a change in the object's velocity. This change can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Is it true that if at any time the forces are unbalanced an object will remain at rest?

No it is not. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest (or in a constant straight line motion) unless acted upon by an outside unbalaced force. So the object would move if an unbalaced force acted on it.


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 is true of newtons first law the law of inertia it only describes motion when forces are unbalanced?

Newton's First Law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This means that the law primarily describes the behavior of objects when no net force is acting on them or when forces are balanced. It highlights the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion, emphasizing the concept of inertia. When forces are unbalanced, the law indicates that the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Balance forces do not cause a change of motion in an object?

If a system is under balanced system of forces its true that it would not have any translation motion but the body can still rotate since torque can still be unbalanced even if the net force add up to zero.


Is it true that Newton's second law of motion explains how an unbalanced force on an object causes it to accelerate?

Yes


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 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.
