Lesson 1

Balanced and
Unbalanced forces
Tell whether agree or dis agree
1. Force is needed to stop an object.
2. Force always results to motion.
3. Force can act even at a distance.
4. Objects have the tendency to remain at
rest.
5. Objects have the tendency to resist change
What have you observed on the picture presented?
a) Will this object move by itself?
b) How can we make this object move?
c) While it is moving, how can we make the
object speed up or slow down?
d) How can make it stop?
e) How can we make it change its direction?

Analysis:
Situation 1
1. Is the pen at rest or in motion?
2. Are there forces acting on the pen? If yes, draw the forces. You
may use arrows to represent these forces.
3. What happens to the pen? What could have caused the pen’s
motion?
Situation 2
1. Is the book at rest or in motion?
2. Are there forces acting on the book? If yes, draw the forces
acting on the book.
3. Did the book move? How will you make the book move?
1. What is force?
2. What are some other forces that can
cause something to move?
3. How does gravity affect object on
earth?
4. What is a force that can cause an
object to slow down or have little
movement?
5. In your own words define friction.
