If force is applied to an object on two sides, and that force is NOT the same, then the object will move in the direction of the greater force. Which type of force is responsible for this?
Balanced Force
Unbalanced Force
A lot of people think that balanced means not moving and unbalanced means moving. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! When talking about the forces acting on an object, an object can have balanced forces acting on it and be in motion. When thinking about balanced and unbalanced forces, you should think about whether the motion of the object is changing.
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, it will remain at rest or moving at a constant speed. Constant speed means the object is moving, but not speeding up or slowing down. If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, it will speed up, slow down or change direction.
I don't get it.
