Learning Objective
Aim high - Be able to represent forces using a force diagram
Aim higher - Describe the effect that balanced and unbalanced forces
have on an object
Aim even higher - Be able to calculate the size of the resultant force
:
9. • A force
move,
is a push or pu11 that
causes
an object to
stop, or change direction
• In physics
accelerate
a force is anything that makes an object

said to be at equilibrium since there are no
unbalanced forces acting
state
upon the book

it maintains its of motion (it still

16. • An unbalanced force always causes a change in
motion
• When unbalanced forces act in opposite
directions you can find the net force
- Net force
• Magnitude
- The
difference
between the two forces
• Direction
- Direction of the largest
force

26. ApplicationQuestions
1. A diver wears weights and dives into the
water, which force is bigger, his weight or
upthrust? Draw a diagram to show the
forces acting on him
2. The diver then releases the weight. Now,
orwhich force is bigger, his weight
upthrust? Draw a diagram to show the
forces acting on him.
27. Resultant Force
If two forces are unbalanced there is a
resultant force.
It could replace all the others to give the
same effect.
The difference between two forces is the
resultant force.
28. What is the resultantforce?
Hint: work out the difference
the two forces.

32. Resultant forces - question1
1. What is the resultant force on the satellite?
Resultant force = 20 N - 10 N
= 10N down
The satellite will accelerate
downwards.
33. Resultant forces - question2
2. What is the resultant force on the bird?
The forces acting in each
direction horizontally are equal
in size, so there is no resultant
force in this direction.
Resultant force= 5 N - 5 N = 0

The vertical forces are not
balanced, the bird will accelerate
in a downwards direction.
Resultant force = 5N - O

Resultant forces - question3
3. What is the resultant force on the yacht?
13N
The vertical forces are equal in size and opposite in direction
so there is no resultant force in the vertical direction.
The horizontal forces are not balanced, so the yacht will
accelerate to the right.
= (20 N + 10 N) -
= 17N right
Resultant force 13 N
