Balanced and unbalanced forces vocabulary

A push or a pull that can cause the motion of an object to change. It has two important properties: strength and direction.

• Force

• Motion

• Strength

• Newton's first law of motion

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

When two equal forces act in opposite directions the result is that the forces are balanced and there is no motion.

• Strength

• Newton (N)

• Balanced Force

• Gravity

When one force is stronger than the other the result is motion.
