Questions and Answers
What happens when balanced forces act on an object?
What happens when balanced forces act on an object?
- The object decelerates and eventually comes to a stop
- The object moves in a circular path
- The object accelerates in the direction of the net force
- The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity (correct)
What is the result of unbalanced forces acting on an object?
What is the result of unbalanced forces acting on an object?
- Circular motion
- Deceleration and eventual stop
- Acceleration in the direction of the net force (correct)
- No change in motion
In which scenario do balanced forces not necessarily result in an object being at rest?
In which scenario do balanced forces not necessarily result in an object being at rest?
- When the object is in free fall (correct)
- When the forces are applied in opposite directions but have equal magnitudes
- When the object is on a frictionless surface
- When the object is already in motion at a constant velocity
Study Notes
Forces and Motion
- When balanced forces act on an object, the object will remain at rest or continue to move with a constant velocity.
- When unbalanced forces act on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
- Balanced forces do not necessarily result in an object being at rest if the object is already moving with a constant velocity.

Description
Test your knowledge of balanced and unbalanced forces with this quiz. Explore the effects of balanced forces on objects and discover the outcomes of unbalanced forces. Learn about scenarios where balanced forces do not always lead to an object being at rest.
