It doesn't really matter; it can be either - or even both: one or more forces can be pulling and one or more forces can be pushing. Or a single pulling or pushing force. The point is, to be called "unbalanced", the sum of all forces must NOT be zero.

If you push a box until it moves is it unbalanced or balanced?

If you push a box until it moves, the forces are unbalanced. Your push overcomes the force of friction between the box and the ground, causing the box to accelerate in the direction of your push.


What 2 forces that can sometimes pull and sometimes push?

Two forces that can sometimes pull and sometimes push are magnetic forces and gravitational forces. These forces can attract objects towards each other (pull) or repel them away from each other (push) depending on the orientation and properties of the objects involved.


A force can be a push or a pull that if unbalanced can cause a change in an object's motion?

Yes, that is correct. Forces are interactions that can cause an object to accelerate or change its direction, speed, or shape. They can be classified as either contact forces (pushes or pulls that require physical contact) or non-contact forces (such as gravity or magnetic forces). When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.


What are the names of the forces that are push forces?

The two types of push forces are tension and compression. Tension forces act to pull an object outward, while compression forces act to push an object inward.


How could you balance forces that are acting on an object that is unbalanced?

To balance forces acting on an unbalanced object, you need to apply an additional force in the opposite direction to the unbalanced force. This new force should have the same magnitude as the unbalanced force but act in the opposite direction to cancel it out. By applying this balancing force, the object will no longer accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force.

What are unbalanced forces and what happens if forces are unbalanced?

Balanced forces will either push or pull against each other with equal force and no net movement will result. If forces are unbalanced, that means that one will push or pull harder than the other and movement will result.


When the net forces equal 0 n are they balanced unbalanced a push or a pull?

How do balanced and unbalanced forces compare?

Why is an unbalanced force needed to create motion?

An unbalanced force can push or pull the object. (or act on it)

Can be a push or a pull that if unbalanced can cause a change in an object's motion.?

Yes.


How do you define a force?

It is an external effort in the form of push or pull, which tries to make the change in the state or direction of the body( body might be moving or at rest) . These are of two types balanced forces and unbalanced forces .


Is force the capacity to do work?

No. Energy is what allows you to work. Force, however, is a push or pull or something that tries to make something else move. When forces are balanced, an object stays where it is, when the forces are unbalanced, the object moves.


What are facts about push or pull forces?

Some situations of push and pull are magnetic and cranes
