equal or unequal Forces

Pablo and Maria begin to play a game of tug-of-war.

They both start pulling and the

flag begins to move to the right towards Maria.

This happens because

• Maria has less force so it creates balanced forces

• Maria and Pablo pull with the same force so they create balaned forces

• Maria pulls with more force so that creates unbalanced forces

Two dogs are pulling on the same rope, but it stays in the same place. What causes this to happen?

• One dog is pulling with a stronger force but no mechanical energy is

  transferred so there is no change in motion.

• Both dogs are pulling with equal forces so there is no change in motion.

• Both dogs are pulling with equal forces so energy is transferred to the rope

  and there is a change in motion.
