If the forces acting on a moving object are balanced, what will the object do?

• The object will remain motionless.

• The object will travel in the direction of the greater force.

• The object will travel in the same direction at the same velocity.

• The object will travel in the opposite direction at the same velocity.

• The object will slow down to a stop.

If the forces acting on an object at rest are balanced, what will the object do?

• The object will travel in the direction of the greater force
• The object will remain at rest
• The object will travel in the direction of the opposite force
• The object will remain at test

Force is measured in:

• Newtons
• Jewels
• Joules
• Fig Newtons

• Friction slows down the motion of objects

• 16 N
• 14 N
• 15 N
• 17 N
