on a still car the weight force is down, and is balanced with the reaction force (working upwards). friction of forward and balanced with drag - backwards. ;)

Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest xy?

There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.


Forces acting on a car when it is still?

It's weight and the reaction force from it's weight. Hope that helps!

Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?

Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.


You are sitting in a car driving at a constant speed on a flat road What are all of the forces acting on you not the forces acting on the car?

Moving at a constant speed if your in the car then there are no forces acting on you from the car. If the car accelerates then the car will push you forward and you will feel the Force of the seat pushing you. The only other force on you in a car is gravity witch always pulls straight down. Gravity is always there whether the car is accelerating or not.

What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?

An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.


What forces are pushing up on a still car?

"Normal" forces push up on a still car. In this case, normal forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the gravitational forces pushing down on the still car.


Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest?

Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.
