Balanced forces mean that the net force is 0, and so there is no net direction of the force. This results in no movement.

When unbalanced forces are acting on an object, the net force points on the direction of the resulting vector that arises from vector addition and subtraction. Think of a game of tug of war for example. If one team has 10 men, and the other has only 5, then the rope will move towards the 10 men because they exert more force (unbalanced), and move the rope towards them.

If there were 10 men on each side, the direction would be towards both simultaneously, and so no movement would occur.

Do balanced and unbalanced forces have direction?

Yes, both balanced and unbalanced forces have direction. Balanced forces have equal magnitude and opposite directions, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. Unbalanced forces have unequal magnitudes or directions, causing changes in an object's motion.


Pictures of balanced and unbalanced forces?

I'm unable to display pictures, but I can describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces. Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are unequal in size or not in opposite directions, causing an object to accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.


Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?

Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.


Is it true or false that balanced forces can change an object's direction?

False. Balanced forces do not change an object's direction. Balanced forces only keep an object at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line. If an object changes direction, unbalanced forces are acting on it.


What are the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on 4 objects?

Balanced forces on an object result in no change in its motion, as the forces cancel each other out. Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force applied. For a stationary object, balanced forces maintain its position, while unbalanced forces cause it to start moving. An object moving at a constant velocity experiences balanced forces, while unbalanced forces can change its speed or direction.


Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?

Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.


How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect motion?

The motion in a body depends on the the balanced or unbalanced forces acting on it. If the sum of the forces is 0 then it is a balanced force and produces no motion if the sum of the forces isn't 0 then it is unbalanced force. The body will move in the direction in which the force is applied. That's about it


Are the two forces balanced or unbalanced?

What two forces? If two forces go in opposite directions, and have the same magnitude, they will be balanced. Otherwise they wont'.


What happens when forces are balanced and unbalanced?

When forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity. When forces are unbalanced, there is a net force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.


Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Balanced forces have the same effect as not moving at all. The motion of the object does not change at allOnly unbalanced forces can change the motion of an object. It does not matter if the object was at rest or was already moving.


How do balanced and unbalanced force affect an objects motion?

The motion in a body depends on the the balanced or unbalanced forces acting on it. If the sum of the forces is 0 then it is a balanced force and produces no motion if the sum of the forces isn't 0 then it is unbalanced force. The body will move in the direction in which the force is applied. That's about it


Which cause change in motion balanced forces or unbalanced forces?

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion by accelerating an object in the direction of the greater force. Balanced forces result in no change in motion since they cancel each other out, resulting in a state of equilibrium.
