What this means is that although there could be several forces acting upon a given object, they are pushing (or pulling) in different directions, and their sum total is equal to no force, so that the object will not be moved. In other words, the forces balance. For example, there could be a force of ten pounds pushing downward, and another force of ten pounds pushing upward, so the net force is zero. That would be why an object sitting on the floor doesn't move, even though there is a force of gravity pullilng it downward. The floor is exerting an equal force to hold it up.

What force is zero?

according to me zero unbalanced force is when force is applied in an object and it is not balance ,if there is no inertia due to it then it is called zero 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 is the difference between a force and an unbalanced force?

Balanced force means that the sum (vector sum) of all forces on an object is zero. Unbalanced means it's not.


What is an unbalanced force and a balanced force?

An unbalanced force is when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force. A balanced force is when the net force on an object is zero, resulting in no change in the object's motion.


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. 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.
