Balanced Forces
Balanced Forces
Forces acting on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Study Notes
Introduction
- Welcome to Teacher Julie Channel
- The content is about balanced and unbalanced forces
Lesson Purpose
- Distinguish between balanced and unbalanced forces
- Explain the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects
- Appreciate the role of balanced and unbalanced forces in everyday life
Activating Prior Knowledge
- Short review
- Identifying the types of forces:
- Gravitational force
- Frictional force
- Tension force
- Electrostatic force
- Applied force
Unlocking Content Vocabulary
- Force: A push or pull that can cause an object to change its speed, direction, or shape.
- Contact Force: Forces that act on an object through direct physical contact, like friction or normal force.
- Non-contact Force: Forces that act on an object without physical contact, such as gravity or magnetism.
- Balanced Forces: Forces that are equal in strength and are opposite in direction, leading to no net force on an object.
- Unbalanced Forces: Forces that are not equal in strength or are not opposite in direction, causing a change in the object's state of motion.
Developing and Deepening Understanding
-
Balance Forces:
- Forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- Forces are balanced.
-
Balance Forces Examples:
- Pushing a wall.
- Game of tug-of-war with equally matched opponents. -A book resting on a table.
-
Balanced Forces Examples:
- Forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction resulting in zero net force, resulting in no acceleration. Object at rest, continues to move in constant velocity.
-
Unbalance Forces:
- Forces acting on a body are not equal to zero.
- Forces are unbalanced
- The body acted upon by unbalanced force changes its state of motion.
-
Unbalanced Forces Examples:
- Object moving.
- A seesaw with one side significantly heavier.
- Kicking a soccer ball.
-
Differences between balanced and unbalanced forces:
Balanced Forces Unbalanced Forces Forces are equal in magnitude Forces are unequal in magnitude No change in motion Change in motion
Worked Examples
- Balanced forces
- A book resting on a table
- A person standing still
- A car driving at constant speed
- Unbalanced forces
- A book being pushed across a table
- A ball being kicked
