A student sets a book on the desk. The desk exerts a force of 20N while gravity is pushing down with 20N. Is this balanced or unbalanced?
Balanced
The gravity acting on a skydiver is 120N of force. If he pulls his parachute, the air resistance acting on him will be 100N of force. What is the calculation? `
120N - 100N = 20N
65N - 43N = 12N unbalanced

10N
A dog is pulling on the leash with a force of 140N. The owner is pulling the dog back with a force of 125N. Is this balanced or unbalanced?
unbalanced.
A kid is pushing another kid in a grocery store with a force of 60N. The kid in the cart is grabbing the shelves to push himself faster with a force of 30N. Friction is acting upon the cart with a force of 40N. What is the Calculation?
60N + 30N - 40N = 50N
If a train is trying to stop at a station. The momentum of the train going forward is 310N. The brakes apply a force of 145N. Friction is acting in a force of 62N. What is the calculation, net force and direction?
310N - 145N - 62N = 103N forward

Down
A car is going down a hill. The friction is slowing it down with a force of 50N. Gravity is pushing it further with a force of 55N. What is the net force?
5N
A paraglider is gliding in the air in Rio. The air resistance is pushing up with a force of 75N. The gravity is pulling him down with a force of 71N. Is this balanced or unbalanced?
Unbalanced
A Christmas present is being fought over. One kid is pulling it with 60N to the left. The other kid is pulling it with 65N to the right. The box is heavy and is exerting a force of 75N against the force of the air resistance coming up at 50N. What is the calculation?
65N - 60N = 5N right
75N - 50N = 25N Down
A couple kids hook their little tykes jeeps to a tree stump to try and pull it out of the way. The two tyke jeeps are exerting a force of 65N each. The stump in place is exerting a force of 120N. What is the calculation, net force and balanced/unbalanced?
65N + 65N - 120N = 10N unbalanced

A Domino is about to be knocked over with a force of 30N. It is sitting on the floor with gravity pushing down with a force of 20N. The floor is holding it up with a force of 20N. Is this unbalanced or balanced?
A truck is pulling a trailer with a force of 210N. The friction acting on the trailer is 145N. The air resistance acting on the truck is 30N. What is the calculation?
210N - 145N - 30N = 35N
A plane is flying in the air about to start landing. Gravity is exerting a force of 135N. The air resistance pushing it up and against it is 135N. The engines pushing it forward with a force of 235N. What is the calculation, net force and direction?
135N - 135N = 0N balanced
235N - 135N = 100N forward
