Question

What do you mean by balanced unbalanced force

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,
A balanced force is when two equal forces are applied on an object pushing both ways. Also they are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions.
When something isn't moving the forces are balanced, eg. Gravity pulls a table down but that table is pushed up by the floor or the ground it stands on so doesn't move.

An Unbalanced force is needed for something to change movement or change direction, eg. a seesaw moving up and down because the forces aren't equal.

Regards
