Front

Is the Net Force balanced or Unbalanced when forces are not equal?

Back

It means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

If two people push a couch with forces of 35 N and 25 N in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

60 N right

Front

What is the effect of an unbalanced force on an object?

Back

It causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.
