Unbalanced , because as long as it is moving it is accelerating therefor it is unbalanced . Now if it is at a complete rest then it is not accelerating therefor it would be a balanced force .

Think Critically A book sliding across a table slows down and comes to a stop Explain whether the forces acting acting on the book are balanced or unbalanced.?

The forces are unbalanced. The force of Friction is obviously greater than whatever force is pushing the book in the direction of travel, if one is pushing it at all. If the forces on the book were balanced, the book would continue to slide with a constant velocity.


What is an unbalanced force that slows down moving objects?

the force is called gravity (I'm not really sure if that's the right answer, but you can just go to google and type in force that slows down moving objects, glad if I helped(:


Is it true when balanced forces act on an object the object speeds up starts to move slows down stops or changes direction?

Yes, of course if there is force there is acceleration.


Why a continues unbalanced force is not required to continue the motion of an object?

because after the object is moving, and the forces are balanced, the force trying to slow it down (like friction, or air resistance) is equil to the one moving it, so it neither speeds up nor slows down. the same applies to the force trying to move the object.


What is the unbalanced force that slows down sliding desk and moving cars?

The force that slows down moving objects is friction, the action of two objects rubbing against each other. This scenario illustrates the action of Newton's Second Law.


What 2 things change when an unbalanced force is applied to an object?

When the forces on an object are unbalanced the changes that could happen are the object speeds up, or slows down. And it can changes direction.


How do unbalanced forces affect an objects motion?

forces push and pull on an object making the object move in the direction of the force. the stronger force would overcome the lesser force, causing the object's motion to go in the direction of the stronger force (newton's 2nd law).alsoif forces are balanced there s no acceleration hence there is no motion.....thus if forces are unbalanced the motion is in the same direction as the resultant force (the greater force acting on an object)When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, The one with more mass will pull on the other one, causing a change in motion.


What does a car do when forces are unbalanced?

Speeds up, slows down or goes round corners.


Think Critically A book resting on a table slows down and comes to a stop Explain whether the forces acting acting on the book are balanced or unbalanced?

As long as the book's velocity changes, there is a net forces acting on it - in other words, the forces are unbalanced. By the way ... How exactly does a book that is resting on a table slow down and come to a stop ?

Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?
