Q

What are balanced forces?

A
  1. Stationary object.
  2. Constant speed or height.
  3. Forces of equal size acting in opposite directions.
  4. Balanced forces cause no change in movement.
  5. If the arrows are the same length, that means it is balanced forces.

Q

What are unbalanced forces?

A
  1. Forces are not equal size.
  2. The object changes direction.
  3. The object moves forward.
  4. The object slows down.
