Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

How will this object move?

• It will not move

• It will move in both directions

• It will move to the right

What are balanced forces?

• forces of the same size, in opposite directions
• the same size in the same direction
• forces in opposite directions
• forces at right angles to each other

Two forces on an object are in the same direction. How do we calculate the resultant force?

• take away one from the other
• multiply them
• divide one by the other
• add them together
