|
|

When two forces acting on an object are not equal in size, we say that they are unbalanced forces.
|
|
Newtons |
One newton is the force required to cause a mass of one kilogram to accelerate at a rate of one meter per second squared in the absence of other force-producing effects.
|
|
Mass |

|
Gravity |
