Forces. You will be able to: ● Identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces. ● Identify balanced and unbalanced forces. Adapted from a PowerPoint by Kathleen Ingram, Lamar Middle School.

What are some common forces? Gravity – the force with which the earth, moon, or another massive object attracts another object towards itself.
What are some common forces? Normal force– a support force exerted upon an object in contact to another object.
Net Force The net force is the combined effect of all forces acting on an object.
Force Balanced Forces • forces acting on an object that are opposite in direction and equal in size • no change in speed
N N Force Unbalanced forces • unbalanced forces that are not opposite and equal • velocity changes (object accelerates) Fnet Ffriction Fpull W
Are there different forces acting on the figure skaters? What direction are the forces acting? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? How do you know?
Today we will demonstrate… • basic relationships between force and motion using simple machines including pulleys and levers • that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed and in a straight line if it is not being subjected to an unbalanced force • how unbalanced forces cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion
