I'm learning about forces in school. What's the difference between a balanced and an unbalanced force?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A balanced force is when two or more forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, so the object doesn't move. An unbalanced force is when the forces are not equal, so the object will move or change its motion.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. Can you give me an example of an unbalanced force?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Imagine you're pushing a box across the floor, but nobody is pushing back on it. Your push is stronger than the friction, so the box will move. That's an unbalanced force because the forces aren't equal.<|im_end|>
