• Balanced force
• Unbalanced force

What is the net force of an object that is not moving?

• 0N
• 100N
• Upward force

Why does a book on a table not move?

• No forces are acting on the book
• Gravity is the only force acting on the book
• Forces of the table pushing up and gravity pulling down are balanced
