Question

The diagram below represents the forces acting upon a rightward moving object. Each arrow represents a force; the length of the arrow represents the strength of the force.
1.Is this object speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant speed?
2. Is the object experiencing balanced or unbalanced force?


PLS ANSWER ASAP .. IMPORTANT!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Force arrows are used to represent both the magnitude and direction of forces. The length of the arrow corresponds to the magnitude of the force, with longer arrows indicating forces with larger magnitudes. The direction of the arrow corresponds to the actual direction that the force is being exerted

Answer 2

1. The object is speeding up.
2. Object is experiencing unbalanced force.

Explanation:

• In the figure, the object is acted upon by three equal forces in three different directions. The magnitude of forces are equal because the length of line of all the three are equal.
• One force acts in right direction, one acts upwards and one acts in downward direction.
• Forces acting in vertical axis cancels out each other because of opposite forces. So, the body has balanced force in vertical direction.
• Also, in the horizontal direction, the body is acted upon only by one force in right direction which is why there is motion in body along horizontal axis towards the right direction. The force along horizontal direction is unbalanced, hence the body is under unbalanced force.
• So, the body speeds up as there is acceleration involved because of non-zero force acting on the object.

Forces are classified in two types:

BALANCED FORCE

• In the case of balanced force, the body is acted upon by forces in opposite direction.
• When equal forces act in each direction, it results in zero net force. And the body remains in equilibrium state.
• There is no acceleration in the body.  

UNBALANCED FORCE

• When the force of direction is applied only in one direction, the net force is non-zero.
• Or when the forces acting on each side is not equal, then the net resultant force decides the direction of motion.
• There is acceleration in the system as a result of non zero resultant force.
