What are balanced and unbalanced forces for kids
When you sit on a chair, the force of gravity pulls you down. The car pushes you up. You stay in one place because the forces on you are balanced. Balanced forces are forces on an object that equal in size and opposite direction. They cancel each other out. In the game of tug-of-war, the teams don’t move because the forces are balanced. Friction keeps them from sliding. They won’t move until one side exerts a larger force. When that happens, the forces are not longer balanced. They are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces are forces that cause a change in motion.
