Force and Movement

Forces are almost always pulls and pushes


Forces usually act in pairs and always act in a direction!

Forces can make things speed up or slow down,
turn and or change direction
they can also make things change shape

Balanced forces cause no change in movement
unbalanced forces can change the direction and or speed of things
