Given:
Unbalanced forces
Required:
Choose the correct option that unbalanced forces not cause an object to do.
Step-by-step explanation:
Balanced and unbalanced forces
When the net force is zero, the force is said to be balanced.
When the net force is non-zero, the force is said to be unbalanced.
For an unbalanced force, the force will have some value.
Also, according to Newton's second law,
Here, m is the mass of the object.
a is the acceleration of the object.
So, for every unbalanced force, the object will experience acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in speed (slowing down or speeding up) or change in direction.
An object with constant speed will have zero acceleration.
Since zero acceleration is not possible for unbalanced forces.
Final Answer: Unbalanced forces cannot cause the object to travel at a constant speed.
