Let's way we have a guy. Gravity makes him push downwards due to his weight. The floor he is on pushes back to support him. (You didn't expect him to be standing on air right?) The force pushing down (his weight) and the force pushing up (the floor) have equal magnitude. Thus, we have a balanced pair of forces. So then say that somebody kicks him in the face... So now we have three forces: Down, (gravity,) up, (the floor,) and backwards, (kick to the face,) and we have no other force (i.e. a wall) to against the force created by the kick so the force by the kick is unbalanced force.

======================

There is no such thing as "an unbalanced force". A single force by itself is not

balanced or unbalanced.

A group of two or more forces is balanced if all the individual forces in the group

add up to zero. Example: You push a shopping cart forward, while I push it backward.

A group of two or more forces is unbalanced if all the individual forces in the group

don't add up to zero. Example: You push a shopping cart forward while a mouse

pushes it backward.

Use unbalanced forces in a sentence?

Unbalanced forces are forces acting on an object that do not nullify one another, therefore resulting in a change in motion. An example of a sentence using the term "unbalanced forces" is "Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by unbalanced forces. "


How would you put the unbalanced force definition for kids?

An unbalanced force is when one force is stronger than another force acting on an object. This causes the object to move in the direction of the stronger force. For example, pushing a toy car harder on one side can make it turn because of unbalanced forces acting on it.


Why are forces unbalanced?

Forces are unbalanced when there is a net force acting on an object causing it to accelerate or change its motion. This could happen when the forces acting on an object are not equal in magnitude or not opposite in direction. Unbalanced forces result in a change in the object's velocity.


What is the result in unbalanced forces?

The result of unbalanced forces is a net force that can accelerate a body.


What is it called the result of unbalanced forces?

The result of unbalanced forces is called acceleration. When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.


How do unbalanced forces effect an objects motion?

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.
