Does unbalanced force or a balanced force have direction?

Both unbalanced force and balanced force can have direction. Unbalanced force causes acceleration in the direction of the force, while balanced force results in no net motion as the forces cancel each other out. The direction of the force determines how an object will move or behave.


How much time does a passerby on the sidewalk below have to move out of the way before the penny hits the ground?

A penny dropped from the top of a skyscraper would reach the ground in approximately 9.2 seconds. A passerby on the sidewalk below would have less than 9 seconds to move out of the way once they see the penny falling.


What does objects need to force to move?

Objects need a force to overcome inertia and start moving. This force can come in many forms, such as push, pull, gravity, or friction. Once a force is applied, the object will accelerate and begin to move in the direction of the force.


You are both pulling the same object in opposite directions at first the object doesn't move then it does what are you when the objects move?

You are applying a force to the object, but in opposite directions. The object doesn't move at first because the forces are balanced. Once one force overcomes the other, the object begins to move in the direction of the greater force.


Can a tornado's rotation be reversed?

An individual tornado cannot change the direction that it rotates, however in rare cases a tornado may rotate in the opposite direction from what is norm (nearly all tornadoes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern).

How are tornadoes paths projected?

Once a tornado is on the ground meteorologists look at where the tornado is and the direction it is traveling, which allows some prediction of its path. However scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes change direction, so that cannot be predicted well aside from the tendency of strong tornadoes to make left turns.


What natural disaster is occurred from tornadoes?

none but tornadoes only can produced other tornadoes after a tornado touches down None, tornadoes can not cause another natural disaster but it is possible that once a tornado touches the ground that it may spawn other tornadoes.

Can you move the direction of two pulleys at once?

Maybe, depends on if you have the right force.


Where do tornadoes form you the sky or on ground?

Tornadoes form in the sky within severe thunderstorms. They develop when warm, moist air rises rapidly and interacts with cooler, drier air at higher altitudes, creating a rotating column of air. Once this rotating column descends and touches the ground, it becomes a tornado.


Why are tornadoes attracted to water?

Tornadoes aren't so much attracted to water so much as water helps them form. Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are powered by moist air. A body of water adds moisture to the air, which can strengthen a thunderstorm and make it more likely to produce a tornado.


How many tornadoes can form at 1 time?

Multiple tornadoes can form at the same time during a severe weather event, especially in outbreaks or supercell thunderstorms. The exact number of tornadoes that can form simultaneously can vary, but it is not uncommon for several tornadoes to be observed in the same area or region at once.


How many tornadoes strike in Canada once a year?

How do you rotate a figure 270 degrees clockwise around the origin?

Can there be Tornadoes in Connecticut?

Yes. Connecticut usually gets a few tornadoes once every few years.


Are tornadoes weather related?

Yes, tornadoes are weather-related phenomena. They are violent, rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground, and are typically associated with severe thunderstorms and certain atmospheric conditions like warm, moist air colliding with cool, dry air.


How many times can you move a king in chess?

In chess a king can move one space in any direction (as long as the spaces are unimpeded and won't place the king in check or checkmate), so the king can potentially make 8 moves (once in any direction) during any turn.
