Any time an object's velocity changes (the object "accelerates"), that is due to a net force. Here are some examples:
* A car speeds up. The force is exerted by the tires, on the road.
* A car slows down. The force is exerted by the tires, on the road, or by air resistance.
* A car moves in a curve (its velocity changes too, since it changes direction). The force is exerted by the tires, on the road.
* A planet moves around the Sun. The velocity changes all the time, since the direction changes. The force is exerted by gravity.
* A falling object speeds up. The force is exerted by gravity.
Any force on the object. Many common forces are a push or pull, friction, tension, gravity, and the normal force.

Total Force
Net force is a vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. When forces acting on the body are balanced, their vector sum, or net force, is equal to zero.
The the forces are unbalanced, that means that the net force is non-zero.
If the net force is zero, the forces are also said to be balanced.
Net force.
The "net force" is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. "Balanced forces" means that the net force is zero. "Unbalanced forces" means that the net force is non-zero. Note that unbalanced forces on an object will cause an acceleration - the object's velocity will change.
net force is a kind of force and balanced forces is another kind of force. You get it or you dont get it?
Net force is a vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. When forces acting on the body are balanced, their vector sum, or net force, is equal to zero.
Balanced forces mean the net force is zero, so they are not the same unless net force is zero. Net force is the vector sum of all forces on an object
When forces are balanced, the net force is zero.
Forces that are unbalanced have a net force that does not equal zero
When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero, by definition. "Net force" refers to the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.
when the net force of an object is at zero, it is at rest. That means that the forces on it are balanced. when the net force is not zero, the forces are unbalanced.
that is called the net force; it is a vector sum of all the forces acting on it
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
The the forces are unbalanced, that means that the net force is non-zero.
0; zero net force
