Categized the following.

Groups:

(a) Balanced Forces

,

(b) Unbalanced Forces

,

(c) Net Force

• Measured in Newtons (N)

• Continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction.

• When two forces that are unequal in size and opposite in direction.

• When two forces equal in size and acting in opposite directions on an object.

• The overall or combination of all forces acting on a object.

• Causes objects to change position, direction or speed.
