6. Intro to Forces (Dynamics)

Which statement best describes the difference between a balanced force and an unbalanced force according to Newton's First and Second Laws?

According to Newton's First Law, what is the tendency of a moving object when no net external forces ($F\_\mathrm{net}$) are acting on it?

An object at rest cannot remain at rest unless which of the following holds?

A $10‑\mathrm{lb}$ block A is moving downward with a speed of $6 \mathrm{ft}/s$ at a given instant. According to Newton's First Law, what can be concluded about the net force acting on the block at that instant if it continues to move downward at constant speed?

A $1-\mathrm{kg}$ ball is falling straight down and experiences an upward air resistance force of $2N$. What is the net force acting on the ball? (Assume acceleration due to gravity is $9.8m/s^2$.)

In a head-on collision between two cars of equal mass ($m$) moving at equal speeds ($v$) toward each other, what happens to the total momentum ($p$) of the system according to Newton's First and Second Laws?

A $5 \mathrm{kg}$ block is acted upon by two horizontal forces: $F_1=10 N$ to the right and $F_2=4 N$ to the left. What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the block?

In which of the following situations is the object experiencing unbalanced forces?
