Let's way we have a guy. Gravity makes him push downwards due to his weight. The floor he is on pushes back to support him. (You didn't expect him to be standing on air right?) The force pushing down (his weight) and the force pushing up (the floor) have equal magnitude. Thus, we have a balanced pair of forces. So then say that somebody kicks him in the face... So now we have three forces: Down, (gravity,) up, (the floor,) and backwards, (kick to the face,) and we have no other force (i.e. a wall) to against the force created by the kick so the force by the kick is unbalanced force.

======================

There is no such thing as "an unbalanced force". A single force by itself is not

balanced or unbalanced.

A group of two or more forces is balanced if all the individual forces in the group

add up to zero. Example: You push a shopping cart forward, while I push it backward.

A group of two or more forces is unbalanced if all the individual forces in the group

don't add up to zero. Example: You push a shopping cart forward while a mouse

pushes it backward.

Are there unbalanced forces acting on the car even when its not being pushed?

If a car (or any object, for that matter) accelerates, that is, if it velocity changes, then there are unbalanced forces. If the object doesn't accelerate - for example, if it remains on the spot - then the forces are balanced.


Why are forces unbalanced?

forces can be unbalanced because they are at differant hights there fore they are not at equal hights so they are unbalanced.

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?

False forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate.


When are forces unbalanced?

A group of forces is an unbalanced group when the vector sum of all the forces in the group is not zero. It's not the forces that are unbalanced. It's the group.

What if the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces in terms of motion?

Unbalanced forces is when the forces are 0N or more. Balanced forces are 0.


What is the formula for unbalanced forces?

Forces are said to be unbalanced when the sum of the forces (the vector sum, to be precise) is not equal to zero.
