(Write a R.A.C.E.S/CER) make a claim about what happened when the forces on the object were balanced. Use your observations as evidence to support your claim. What was the net force in this situation?

Question

(UnBalanced forces were 150 N (left force) and 100 N (right force), 3 sentence answer)

Answer 1

Claim: When the forces on the object were balanced, it remained in a state of equilibrium and did not accelerate.

Evidence: In the scenario provided, the unbalanced forces were 150 N to the left and 100 N to the right, resulting in a net force of 50 N to the left. However, when forces are balanced, both sides would exert equal force, such as 100 N to the left and 100 N to the right, leading to a net force of 0 N overall.

Reasoning: A net force of 0 N indicates that the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity, signifying that the forces acting upon it are balanced and no change in motion occurs.
