What is Normal Force?

500
This exists when all the forces acting on an object result in the object staying at rest or moving at a constant speed in the same direction.
What is balanced force?
500

If 20 people are playing tug of war and the left is pull with 300N of force and the right is pulling with 300N of force, what is the rope doing?

It is staying still (going nowhere)

Dolphins porpoise out of the water due to the fact that air has less resistance than water - making it easier for them to migrate great distances by jumping. 

When a dolphin jumps out of the water, it jumps down into the water with about +8,000N of force. How much force does the water then hit the dolphin with?

What is -8,000N?
