What is an unbalanced force

Physics
1 answer:
Butoxors [25]3 years ago
7 0
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

If all of the forces acting on an object all add up to zero, then we say that
<span>the group </span>of forces is balanced.  When that happens, the group of forces
has the same effect on the object as if there were no forces on it at all. 

An example: 
Two people with exactly equal strength are having a tug-of-war.  They pull
with equal force in opposite directions.  Each person is sweating and straining,
grunting and groaning, and exerting tremendous force.  But their forces add up
to zero, and the rope goes nowhere.  The <u>group</u> of forces on the rope is balanced.

On the other hand, if one of the offensive linemen is pulling on one end of
the rope, and one of the cheerleaders is pulling on the other end, then their
forces don't add up to zero, because even though they're opposite, they're
not equal.  The <u>group</u> of forces is <u>unbalanced</u>, and the rope moves.

A group of forces is either balanced or unbalanced.  A single force isn't.

What is the relationship between an object’s mass and its gravitational potential energy?.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.

Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45º south of east. Drag ve
givi [52]

If a boat is going East at 15mph and there is a water current going southeast at 45° then the boat is being drifted southward.  So since the current is going at an angle then it has a x and y component.  So Rx refers to the x-component force of the current and Ry refers to the y-component of the current, and |R| refers to the magnitude of these forces.
