Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Understanding forces
Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. They do not change an object's motion: it stays still or continues at the same speed in the same direction. Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion, such as speeding up, slowing down or turning.
- The forces are balanced, so its motion is not changing.
- The forces are unbalanced, so it must be speeding up.
- There are no forces acting on the car.
- The forces are balanced, so the car must be stationary.
- A scooter speeds up as a rider pushes off.
- A mug rests on a kitchen bench.
- A tennis ball changes direction after being hit.
- A train travels in a straight line at steady speed.
