Which of the following is an example of a balanced force?

• An airplane taking off.

• Kicking a football.

• A car slowing down.

• A car waiting at a red light.

Balanced forces can cause

• an object to speed up or slow down

• an object to stay still or move at a constant speed and direction

A soccer ball is on the ground. It is not moving. Are the forces acting on the ball balanced or unbalanced?

• The forces acting on the ball are balanced.

• The forces acting on the ball are unbalanced.

When an object continues to move in the same direction at the same speed, we consider to the object to be:

• Balanced

• Unbalanced

An arm wrestling game, where equal force is applied on both sides.

• balanced

• unbalanced

When an object does not change its motion:

• Balanced forces

• Unbalanced forces

• Gravity

A boulder sitting at the top of a hill.

• Balanced forces are acting on the boudler

• Unbalanced forces are acting on the boulder

• There are no forces acting on the boulder
