Question

the diagram below represents the forces acting upon a left - ward moving object. each arrow represents a force, the length of the arrow represents the strength of the force. is this a speeding up, slowing down, or constant speed motion? speeding up slowing down constant speed is the object experiencing balanced or unbalanced forces? balanced unbalanced

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze vertical forces

The vertical forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Since there are no horizontal forces shown and the object is moving left - ward, there is no acceleration in the vertical or horizontal direction (assuming no air - resistance etc. in the horizontal direction as no horizontal forces are indicated).

Step2: Determine motion type

Since there is no acceleration in the direction of motion (horizontal) and no acceleration in the vertical direction, the object is moving at a constant speed.

Step3: Determine force balance

The two vertical forces cancel each other out. There are no horizontal forces. So, the net force on the object is zero, which means the object is experiencing balanced forces.

Answer:

Constant Speed
Balanced
