Homework Forces 2

The document discusses balanced and unbalanced forces. It provides examples of forces acting on different objects, including an apple on a tree, a falling ball, and a moving car. For each example, it asks the reader to identify whether the forces are balanced or unbalanced by ticking a box. Balanced forces occur when an object is not accelerating or changing speed, while unbalanced forces cause movement.
