Force
Forces are measured in units called Newtons (N).
Use the spring scale to find out what a force of 1 Newton feels like.
Force
Forces have a magnitude (how strong)and a direction so we can represent forces with vectors (arrows).

A force diagram shows all the forces acting on an object.
We represent the object itself as a dot.

Balanced forces cancel each other out. The sum of the forces, or NET force is zero. Unbalanced forces don't cancel out. The net force is something other than zero.
