Question

escribe the forces that are acting on a person who is standing still on a sidewalk, and identify whether the forces are balanced or unbalanced. Describe how the forces would change if the person started walking

Answer 1

When the motion of an object changes, the forces are unbalanced. Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force.

Step-by-step explanation:

For both stationary and moving objects with unchanging speed and direction, all the forces acting on the objects are in balance with each other, i.e. they all cancel each other out
