High Impact Kete #9: Balanced Forces

Balanced Forces


Balanced Forces are two equals forces acting in opposing directions on one object. When the balanced force is acting upon this object, it will remain still or at the same speed or direction as it had been before, even before the balanced force. Balanced forces can act upon all hanging, floating and standing objects.
This water bottle is a balanced force sitting on a table, as it is not moving.

This tiny adorable cactus is a balanced force sitting on a table, as it is not moving. 

This hanging ornament is a balanced force, because it is not moving. If an earthquake were to happen though, or someone used some sort of force to impact its position, it would become an unbalanced force.

This pineapple decor is an unbalanced force because it is not moving. 


Some examples of balanced forces in everyday life include:

- A Chromebook sitting on a table
-  A football sitting still on a field 
- A table sitting on a floor.
