Balanced, Unbalanced, Static and Magnetic Forces

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to move in the direction of the greater force.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the force that pulls a ball back to Earth.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

An example of a balanced force is when two teams pull on opposite sides of a rope with equal force in a game of Tug of War.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

An example of an unbalanced force is when a person pushes a shopping cart, causing it to move forward.

Front

What is static force?

Back

Static force is the force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles, such as the force that pulls magnets together or pushes them apart.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.
