Effects of Balanced and Unbalanced Forces on Objects - JSS2 Basic technology Lesson Note

Balanced Forces:

• No Change in Motion:* If an object is at rest, it remains at rest. If it is moving, it continues to move at a constant velocity.
• Equilibrium State: The object is in a state of equilibrium, meaning there is no net force acting on it.

Unbalanced Forces:

• Change in Motion: The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. This can mean starting to move, speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
• Net Force:*There is a net force acting on the object, resulting in a change in its state of motion.
