An object has a constant velocity of 20 m/s to the north, and there are two forces acting on it. what is this situation called

When an object move with a constant velocity and there are forces acting on it, this is called unbalanced force. The forces acting on an object is a net force, which is capable of changing speed and/or direction of motion of an object. However, the two forces acting on the object can be added together to give the resultant force, which is a single force that has the same effect on the object as all the individual forces acting together.

electrical to thermal

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
