Force Diagram
Labeled diagram that shows the forces acting on an object with arrows that indicate the magnitude and direction of the force
Balanced Forces
Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of 0
Unbalanced Forces
Forces that produce a
nonzero
net force, which changes an object's motion

of all forces acting on an object
