In each case, state whether the forces are balanced or unbalanced. If unbalanced, calculate the net force and describe the direction of the resultant force.

Check explanation section.

Explanation:

In order to understand balanced force and unbalanced forces the first law of Newton should be considered as a basic knowledge.

For Balanced forces, there is equal equality in the direction of the forces. In balanced forces, there is no acceleration.

For unbalanced forces, there is acceleration that is go say there is going to be movement. Therefore, net force is equal to unbalanced forces.

(i) Suitcase dropped from a height.

since there is movement that is acceleration, then the force here is unbalanced force. The resultant force is downwards.towards the greater force direction.

(ii) A bicycle moving with constant velocity on a straight road.

As the bicycle moves at constant velocity on the straight road the force here is Balanced. Frictional forces balances the forces from the cyclist.

(iii) The rope does not move in a tug of war on applying force at both ends.

Balanced force.
