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.


Is it true or false that balanced forces on an object cause the object the object to accelerate?

False. Balanced forces on an object do not cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration occurs when there is an unbalanced force acting on an object. Balanced forces result in no net force acting on the object, keeping it at a constant velocity or at rest.


Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?

Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.


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

False. I'm sure you've learned much from this exercise that we've shared.


Is this true or false balanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity?

False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.


Balanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate True or false?

false


if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?

If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.


Any time the forces are balanced an object will remain at rest true of false?

false


Does newtons second law state that if an unbalanced force acts on an object it will move at constant velocity?

No, Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). If there is an unbalanced force acting on an object, it will accelerate, not move at a constant velocity.


Is it true or false that unbalancing the forces acting on an object gives you net force?

It is true that if the forces on an object are not balanced then there will be a non-zero net force on that object.


Is it false that balance forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?

Yes, it is false that balanced forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. When forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.


True or false does balanced forces cause a change in motion?

False. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.
