A plate sitting on a dining table A ball at the top of a hill that is not moving A baseball that is hit with a bat. A car that is traveling down a straight road at a constant speed. How will this object move? to the left to the right up it won't move How will this object move? to the left to the right up it won't move Sort the pictures as either balanced forces or unbalanced forces. Unbalanced Forces Balanced Forces Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are - always balanced always unbalanced always a pushing force always a pulling force The force that pulls downward on all objects is known as - air resistance friction gravity equilibrium When an unbalanced force is applied to an object that is already moving, which of the following can occur? the object may slow down the object may speed up the object may change direction all of the above Which force acts in the opposite direction of a car's tire rolling across a flat road? friction gravity inertia equilibrium
