Explain balanced and unbalanced forces in a simple way.
You • 10:42 AM
A force is a push or a pull.
Balanced forces are the same size but push or pull in opposite directions. The object keeps doing what it was doing.
Example: A book on a table has gravity pulling down and the table pushing up.
Unbalanced forces are not the same size. The object can speed up, slow down, turn, or change shape.
Example: If you push a trolley harder than friction pushes back, the trolley speeds up.
