Why cant you open a door by pushing on its hinged side?

to open the door toque must be applied on it. torque = force * perpendicular distance when the door is pushed at the hinge perpendicular distance is zero. Hence, it can not be opened


Why are door handles placed towards the corner of the door?

The door-handle is usually on the opposite side of the door from the hinges to give the best leverage on the door, ie you need less force to pull the door open. You are producing a torque on the door. (Torque is a rotational force). Essentially, as you apply a force to rotate something, less is needed to cause rotation if you apply that force further away from the center of the rotation (in this case, the hinges). Try to push open a door by pushing on the door very close to the hinges, and you will find that it is quite difficult.

What is an unbalanced force or outside force?

When forces are unbalanced, the motion of the object changes. When forces are balanced, the net force (or overall combination of all the forces) is zero because the forces cancel each other out.Think of it this way. When two very strong people are pushing against an open door, with one on each side, the net force would be zero because both the people have the same amount of force and strength. When a toddler and a very strong person are pushing against the same open door, the forces are unbalanced because the strength of the person does not match the strength of the toddler.
