What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
When an object is at rest what are the forces acting on it?
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
Can you say about the no forces acting on a stationary object?
If the object is not moving, then the only thing you can be sure of is that since it's not accelerating, all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. Just the fact that it's not moving is not enough information to tell you that there are no forces on it.
What caused objects to change velocity?
A force, or several forces that don't add up to zero, acting on the object.
If you add together all of the forces exerted on an object and get a non-zero value this is called _______ force on the object?
net
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
How is the net force on an object detemined?
You add together all the forces acting on the object - using vector addition.
Do you add or subtract if forces are acting on an object in the same direction?
add
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
When an object is at rest what are the forces acting on it?
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
What does the term balance mean?
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.
When does a moving object accelerate?
An object accelerates when all the forces acting on it don't add up to zero.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
What is the net force equation?
It means the same as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Note that since forces are vectors, they have to be added as such. For example, an book resting on a table has gravity pulling it down; on the other hand, the table is pushing the book upwards (by Newton's Third Law; since the book pushes down on the table). Adding all the forces together, you get a zero force - which must be so, for the object to remain at rest.
Can you say about the no forces acting on a stationary object?
If the object is not moving, then the only thing you can be sure of is that since it's not accelerating, all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. Just the fact that it's not moving is not enough information to tell you that there are no forces on it.
How is net force on an object determined?
Add the different forces together to find the net force. For example, if you have a force of -5N acting on an object and another force of 8N acting on that object, the net force is 3 N.
Balance forces have what affect on an objects motion?
"Balanced forces" means a set of forces that add up to zero.This group of forces acting on a single object have no effect on its motion, because they add up to zero,and their effect is equivalent to zero force on the object.
