If the forces are balanced, what is the resulting acceleration?

Asked by loanakumari

Answer (3)

There is no acceleration when an object has balanced forces on it. It either moves at a constant velocity or doesn't move at all

If the forces on an object are balanced, meaning there is no net force , the resulting acceleration is zero. The object will continue in its current state, either at rest or moving at a constant speed. This is based on Newton's First and Second Laws of motion. ;

When forces are balanced, the total force acting on an object is zero, leading to zero acceleration. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity if no unbalanced forces act on it. Examples include a parked car or a hockey puck sliding at constant speed.
