How would you define an unbalanced force?
An unbalanced force is a force that keeps an object at rest.
An unbalanced force is a force that only affects the shape of an object.
An unbalanced force is a force that causes a change in the motion of an object.
An unbalanced force is a force that has no effect on an object's motion.
Can you give an example of an unbalanced force?
A person pulling a box with equal force on each side.
A car moving at a constant speed on a straight road.
A book resting on a table.

Explain how to calculate the net force when forces are balanced.
The net force is negative
The net force when forces are balanced is zero.
The net force is always positive
The net force is doubled
Describe a scenario where balanced forces are at play.

A car accelerating on a straight road
Two magnets attracting each other
Two people pushing against each other with equal force
In what situations do unbalanced forces occur?
Unbalanced forces occur when the object is in equilibrium.
Unbalanced forces occur when the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Unbalanced forces occur when the net force acting on an object is not zero.
