Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion.

Unbalanced forces are forces that do not cancel each other out, causing a change in the motion of an object.

Unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object.

The rope remains in the same position because the forces are balanced.

A contact force is a force that requires physical contact between two objects.

A non-contact force is a force that acts at a distance, such as gravity or magnetism.

Gravity is an example of a non-contact force.

True.

Unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object at rest or push/pull a moving object.

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.
