Question

The forces acting on a body are said to be unbalanced when the net force acting on it is not ___.

  1. = 0
  2. < 0
  3. > 0
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

If the forces applied to an object are unbalanced, its net force is not equal to zero.

The correct answer is: = 0


    •  The net force of a balanced force is always zero.
    • If the forces are of different directions or different magnitudes, the net force will be either greater or less than zero.
    • The net force is not equal to zero for unbalanced forces.
