  1. Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

  2. 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

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

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

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

  6. 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

  7. Unbalanced Forces 3 N, right – 6 N, left = 3N, left

  8. Unbalanced Forces 4 N, left – 10 N, right = 6N, right

  9. Unbalanced Forces 5 N, right + 10 N, right = 15N, right

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

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

  14. 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

  15. 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
