Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size or direction, causing an object to move or change its motion.

The forces are balanced.

True.

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

A contact force is a force that acts when two objects are in physical contact with each other.

Friction is a contact force that opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down or stopping it.

False.

Gravity is an example of a non-contact force.

The unit of force is Newtons (N).
