Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

If forces are balanced then an object is either stationary (not moving) or


moving at a constant (unchanging) speed.
If forces are unbalanced then an acceleration (getting faster) or deceleration
(getting slower) occurs.

Balanced or unbalanced?
Take a look at the following situations. Are the forces balanced or unbalanced?

Example 1

air resistance The forces are ______________


driving force
& friction from engine

Example 2

The forces are ______________


air resistance driving force
& friction from engine

Example 3

air resistance The forces are ______________


& friction

What is happening to the speed of the car in each example?


Example 1:__________________________________________________________

Example 2:__________________________________________________________

Example 3:__________________________________________________________

There are 2 forces acting on Garry the Goat. One force
A is his weight, and the other force is the rock pushing
against his feet.
What is force A? ______________________________

Are these forces balanced or unbalanced?_________________________________
What would happen if force A was bigger than force B?_______________________

Add all force arrows (including weight) to Bart for the following situations:

Bart is Bart is moving at a


Bart is stationary
accelerating to constant speed to
(not moving)
the right (getting the right
faster)

The ball has just been kicked and is


moving away from the footballers. Can
you draw arrows for the forces on the
ball?
HINT: Be careful to draw arrows for the
forces, and not the ball’s movement!

Example 1: The car is either _______________ or moving at a ______________
speed.

Example 2:The driving force is bigger than the air resistance and friction, so the car
must be _______________

Example 3: The only force is the air resistance/friction, so the car must be
______________________
