Back

Gravity

Front

What happens if the sum of the forces acting on an object is zero?

Back

The forces are balanced and the object won't move.

If an object is at rest and the forces acting on it are balanced, what can we say about its motion?

Back

It will remain at rest.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
