1. If the net force on an object is O N, the forces are considered unbalanced.
true
false**
2. Most people in the United States use feet and miles to measure distance in their everyday lives. Why do scientists in the United States use meters to measure distance?
Meters allow scientists t be more accurate in their measurments.**
Science requires special measurements that are not used in everyday life.
All scientists use meters to measure distance to help eleminate confusion.
Meters are better than feet for measuring objects in motion.
