The force which opposes the relative motion between the surfaces of two objects in contact and acts along the surfaces is called the force of friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galileo experimentally proved that objects that are in motion move with constant speed when there is no force acting on it. He could note that when a sphere rolls down an inclined plane, its speed increases because of the gravitational pull acting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all the forces acting on an object are balanced, the net force acting is zero. But, if all the forces acting on a body result in an unbalanced force, then the unbalanced force can accelerate the body, which means that a net force acting on a body can either change the magnitude of its velocity or change the direction of its velocity. For example, when many forces act on a body, and the body is found to be at rest, we can conclude that the net force acting on the body is zero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The line along which a force acts on an object is called the force\u2019s&nbsp;line of action&nbsp;.
