Any force will do, as long as it's an unbalanced force (the sum of all forces acting on the object must not be zero).
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting upon it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces, and the object will accelerate in the direction of this net force.
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
Not necessarily. Forces can act on an object even if it is not in motion, causing it to accelerate or just balance out other forces. The net force on an object determines its motion, accounting for all forces acting on it.
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.
When the sum of the net forces on an object are not zero, it means that the object is being moved/pushed/pulled. It means that the object is not in equilibrium. If the net forces were zero, then the object would be in equilibrium, or, a state of not moving at all.
* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.
No. A balanced group of forces has the same effect on an object as no force at all.
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting upon it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces, and the object will accelerate in the direction of this net force.
ANY force can cause a change in motion, as long as the sum of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero. For example, if two people pull on an object in opposite directions, and with forces that have the same magnitude, then the sum of the forces would be zero, and the object won't accelerate.
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
An object accelerates when all the forces acting on it don't add up to zero.
Not necessarily. Forces can act on an object even if it is not in motion, causing it to accelerate or just balance out other forces. The net force on an object determines its motion, accounting for all forces acting on it.
If the sum of all forces acting upon an object is not zero, then the object will accelerate. (Newton's first law)
An object accelerates in the direction of the net applied force, which is the vector sum of all applied forces.
the object accelerates in each direction that the forces define. The object will accelerate, overall, in a direction representative of all forces.
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.
When the sum of the net forces on an object are not zero, it means that the object is being moved/pushed/pulled. It means that the object is not in equilibrium. If the net forces were zero, then the object would be in equilibrium, or, a state of not moving at all.
