Questions
1. What conditions have to be present for forces to be balanced?
2. When forces are balanced, what is the net force on the object?
3. When the net force is zero, is the object moving?
4. Draw and example of a balanced force, and explain why the forces are balanced.
5. What conditions have to be present for forces to be unbalanced?
6. When can the forces on an object be unbalanced when both forces are equal in size?
7. Draw and example of an unbalanced force, and explain why the forces are unbalanced.
8. Stop the video at 3:00, and summarize what you have learned so far.
9. Describe how to calculate Net Force. What happens when there are balanced forces? Unbalanced forces?
10. Draw and solve for the example Net Force problem at 3:13. What is the Net Force on the box? What direction is the box moving in? Is it balanced or unbalanced?
