Most objects have at least two forces acting on them at all times. _____ 3. If opposing forces are unequal in strength, the net force is less than zero. _____ 4. The SI unit for weight is the newton. _____ 5. When two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force equals zero. _____ 6. When forces act in opposite directions on an object, they are subtracted to yield the net force. _____ 7. Every sport involves forces. _____ 8. Forces are always balanced when they act on an object in the same direction. _____ 9. Whenever an object is stationary, it has no forces acting on it. _____ 10. Two forces acting in the same direction always result in a stronger force.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mass is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. ___false__

2. Most objects have at least two forces acting on them at all times. __True___ ( because of presence of reaction force or friction force )

3. If opposing forces are unequal in strength, the net force is less than zero. __false___

4. The SI unit for weight is the newton. _true____

5. When two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force equals zero. _____ false

6. When forces act in opposite directions on an object, they are subtracted to yield the net force. ___true__

7. Every sport involves forces. _true____

8. Forces are always balanced when they act on an object in the same direction. __false___

9. Whenever an object is stationary, it has no forces acting on it. _false____ ( it may have two equal and opposing force acting on it )

10. Two forces acting in the same direction always result in a stronger force.

true ( they add up )
