Forces and Motion Concepts

The video tutorial explains balanced forces, which are equal in size but opposite in direction, using various examples. It highlights how forces like gravity and support from surfaces create balance, preventing movement. The tutorial includes practical examples such as a box on the floor, a ball hanging from the ceiling, and books on a table. It concludes with an interactive exercise to reinforce understanding.

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

• It accelerates in the direction of the larger force.

• It remains stationary or moves at a constant speed.

• It spins around its axis.

• It moves in the direction of the smaller force.

What is a characteristic of balanced forces?

• They are always visible.

• They cause objects to accelerate.

• They only act on stationary objects.

• They are equal in size and opposite in direction.

What is the result of two people pushing a box with equal force in opposite directions?

• The box accelerates in the direction of the weaker person.

• The box moves in a circular path.

• The box remains stationary.

• The box moves in the direction of the stronger person.

In the example of the box on the ground, what force counteracts gravity?

• The force from the floor

• The force from the walls

• The force of friction

• The force of air resistance

What role does the rope play in the example of the hanging ball?

• It increases the gravitational force.

• It causes the ball to swing.

• It decreases the weight of the ball.

• It provides an upward force to balance gravity.

Why do the books on the table not fall?

• The air pressure holds them up.

• The table exerts an upward force equal to gravity.

• The books are glued to the table.

• The books are too light to fall.

In the example of the rope attached to a wall, what prevents the rope from moving?

• The force of friction

• The force of gravity

• The force of tension

• The force from the wall

What force acts downward on the light bulb in the example?

• The force of friction

• The force of air resistance

• The force of gravity

• The force of tension

What ensures that the light bulb does not fall?

• The force of air resistance

• The force from the wire

• The force of friction

• The force of gravity

What is the force that pulls objects downward?

• The force of air resistance

• The force of tension

• The force of gravity

• The force of friction
