As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

A 9.0-kg bowling ball on a horizontal, frictionless surface experiences a net force of 6.0 n. what will be its acceleration?

Vladimir [108]

This question involves the concepts of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

The acceleration of the bowling ball will be "0.67 m/s²".

<h3>Newton's Second Law of Motion</h3>

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, when an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in it, in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Mathematically,

$F=ma\\\\a=\frac{F}{m}$
