FORCES ACT IN PAIRS BALANCED FORCES – OCCURS WHEN THE FORCES ACTING ON AN OBJECT ARE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER AND THERE IS NO MOVEMENT.
UNBALANCED FORCES – OCCURS WHEN THE FORCES ACTING ON AN OBJECT ARE NOT EQUAL TO EACH OTHER AND THERE IS MOVEMENT.
FRICTION – A FORCE THAT PUSHES AGAINST MOVING OBJECTS.
AIR RESISTANCE – A FORM OF FRICTION THAT EXISTS BETWEEN OBJECTS MOVING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE.
GRAVITY – A PULLING FORCE OF ATTRACTION THAT EXIST BETWEEN ANY TWO OBJECTS WITH MASS.
GRAVITY PULLS ALL OBJECTS DOWN AT THE SAME RATE. WITHOUT AIR RESISTANCE WITH AIR RESISTANCE (VACUUM)
WORK – THE ACTION THAT RESULTS WHEN A FORCE CAUSES AN OBJECT TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FORCE. Work = Force x Distance (W=FxD) Joule (J) is the unit of measurement for work
