o Balanced forces are forces that are equal to one another. These forces
do not cause the object to move. Unbalanced forces are unequal forces
What is inertia?
o When forces acting on an object which is at rest are balanced; net force
equal to zero
o If the forces (arrows) are in the same direction, you added the forces to
get the net force. If the forces (arrows) are acting in opposite directions,
o 9.8 m/s/s
o 1st law: Inertia: An object in motion will stay in motion and an object
inertia)
o 3rd law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Apply the following concepts to a sky diver: gravity, air resistance, balanced
o Gravity pulls the sky diver to the ground with a constant acceleration
o Air resistance is a type of friction acting on the sky diver, but with LESS
Describe how gravitational force effects objects as they move closer or further
o The closer the objects are and the greater the mass of the objects, the
