Unbalanced and Balanced Forces

Unbalanced

Balanced

If two forces are pushing/ pulling in opposite directions, but the amount if force is the same (example :2N➡️⬛️⬅️2N) the objects speed will remain the same, or if the object was still it will stay stationary. It dies this because the forces are balanced topsoil they cancel each other out.

When one force is stronger than others or by itself it is an unbalanced force. When an unbalanced force occurs the side with a greater amount of force will always take over. Meaning the object will travel in that direction. For example: ⬅️3N◼️6N➡️ the object will travel to the right because 6N is greater than 3N. The force is also unbalanced .

The group on the right has more force than the group on the left. They are winning tug if war.

Both sides are applying the same amount of force. It is a tie.

A tug of war us a great example of an unbalanced force because it's two sides acting against each other and one side has a larger amount of force.

An example of a balanced force is when two soccer players kick a soccer ball at the same time , but the soccer ball remains still. Thus happens because both players applied the same amount of force so they cancel each other out. The ball remains stationary.
