Balanced Force

The video tutorial explains the concept of balanced force, where forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, resulting in no motion. Examples include books on a table. It contrasts this with unbalanced force, where unequal forces cause motion, such as a space shuttle liftoff. The tutorial concludes with a reflective question about a statue as an example of balanced force.

What happens to an object when balanced forces act upon it?

• It starts moving.

• It remains stationary.

• It accelerates.

• It changes direction.

Which of the following is an example of unbalanced forces?

• A space shuttle taking off.

• A statue in a museum.

• A car parked on a hill.

• A book resting on a table.

What is the result when one football player exerts more force than another?

• The forces are balanced.

• The forces are unbalanced.

• The players remain still.

• The forces cancel each other out.

What role do balanced forces play in the motion of objects?

• They cause objects to accelerate.

• They keep objects moving at a constant speed.

• They keep objects stationary.

• They change the direction of objects.

Why might a statue be considered an example of balanced forces?

• Because it changes direction.

• Because it remains in place.

• Because it is accelerating.

• Because it is moving.
