?
Balanced forces are responsible for what?
balanced forces are cause unchanging motion
1 of 30
Unbalanced forces are responsible for what?
Unbalanced forces cause changing motion

what is newtons 1st law?
If a body is at rest and the forces acting on it are balanced then the body will remain at rest, However if the body is moving and the forces acting on it are unbalanced then the body will keep moving at a constant speed in a straight line.

what is newtons 2nd law?
F=M x A

what is newtons 3rd law?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
