Meaning
Unbalanced Forces are Forces acting in opposite directions with different magnitudes.
About Unbalanced Forces
- When there are unbalanced forces on an object the object will accelerate.
 |
 |
 |
| The 4N up and the 7N down mean the object will accelerate downwards due to a resultant force of 3N. | The 4N left and the 3N right mean the object will accelerate to the left due to a resultant force of 1N. | The 6N up is balanced by the 6N down but the 6N left and the 4N right mean the object will accelerate to the left due to a resultant force of 2N. |
