Solution

Unequal and opposite forces:

  1. The net force is the difference between two unequal forces acting in opposite directions on an object.
  2. A result the final force and its direction, or the object moves in the direction of greater force.

Change of state:

  1. When one force exceeds another, the forces are not balanced; rather, they are unbalanced.
  2. You can change the motion of an object by applying an unbalanced force.
  3. Unbalanced forces can cause an object at rest to move, a moving object to stop, or a moving object to change direction and speed.
