Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

What is a force? A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction In physics a force is anything that makes an object accelerate

Force Forces come in pairs Forces have a magnitude and a direction 5N, north (up) Magnitude: 5N Direction: north (up) 1 N (Newton) 1 kg * m/s/s

Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Forces occur in pairs and they can be either balanced or unbalanced

Balanced Forces Balanced forces do not cause change in motion They are equal in size and opposite in direction

Unbalanced Forces An unbalanced force always causes a change in motion When unbalanced forces act in opposite directions you can find the net force Net force Magnitude The difference between the two forces Direction Direction of the largest force

Unbalanced Forces 3 N, right – 6 N, left 3N, left

Unbalanced Forces 4 N, left – 10 N, right 6N, right

Unbalanced Forces 5 N, right 10 N, right 15N, right

Video Quiz- (6 Questions) 1. The Scientist who devised the 3 laws of motion was: A) Isaac Newton B) Albert Einstein C) Charles Darwin D) Thomas Edison

Video Quiz 2. The first law of motion states that if all the forces acting upon an object are BALANCED, then there will be: A) acceleration B) the object stopping C) no acceleration D) deceleration

Video Quiz 3. No acceleration means: A) increasing velocity OR the object is stationary B) constant velocity OR the object is stationary C) decreasing velocity OR the object is stationary

Video Quiz 4. The size of the force of gravity is an object's: A) density B) mass C) weight D) chemical structure

Video Quiz 5. When forces are BALANCED on an object, the object will either: A) decelerate OR accelerate B) start moving OR decelerate C) stop moving OR travel at a constant velocity D) remain stationary OR travel at a constant velocity

Video Quiz 6. When forces are UNBALANCED on an object, the object will either: A) remain stationary OR travel at a constant velocity B) accelerate OR decelerate C) start moving OR travel at a constant velocity D) stop moving OR travel at a constant velocity
