Question 5 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS
An unbalanced force changes an object's motion by making it speed up, slow down, or change direction. The baseball speeds up as it falls, the bumper car changes direction after being hit, and the released balloon moves across the room, so each has an unbalanced force. The soccer ball at rest and the skater moving at constant speed have no change in motion, so their forces are balanced.
