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).

How do balanced forces and unbalanced forces differ?

* 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.


Does balance forces acting on an object cause the object to 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 what force?

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.


What is forces that cause a change in motion?

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.


How do forces acting on an object?

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.


When does a moving object accelerate?

An object accelerates when all the forces acting on it don't add up to zero.


Do all forces acting on an object result to its motion?

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.


Two or more forces that act on an object that do not cancel each other?

If the sum of all forces acting upon an object is not zero, then the object will accelerate. (Newton's first law)


An object will accelerate in the direction of the?

An object accelerates in the direction of the net applied force, which is the vector sum of all applied forces.


What happens to an object being influenced by more than one force?

the object accelerates in each direction that the forces define. The object will accelerate, overall, in a direction representative of all forces.


How do balanced forces affect an object that is at rest?

Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.


When the net forces on an object are not zero?

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.
