Question

Name two effects unbalanced forces can have on an object. Provide an example of each effect.​

Answer 1

The two kinds of unbalanced forces are:

• Net Force: Is the vector sum of all forces acting (pushing or pulling) on an object.
• Resultant Force: is a force that alone produces the same acceleration as all those forces.

To effects that unbalanced forces have on objects are:

• Can make an object move or stop.

• Can speed up or slow down an object.

Here are some examples:

• When falling out of a plane when sky diving, this is making you move faster. Then when you are using a parachute, you are slowing down.

• A man uses force to roll down an object from the top of a hill.
