Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces. Newton's first law of motion has been frequently stated throughout this lesson. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The force of the road on the locked wheels provides the unbalanced force to change the car's state of motion, yet there is no unbalanced force to change your own state of motion. Thus, you continue in motion, sliding along the seat in forward motion.
From Newton’s first law of motion, we know that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Now you may wonder what an unbalanced force is?

Travel back in time to 1687 and help Newton remember his first law of motion and what it means for a body to stay at rest or in uniform motion. Learn when two forces are balanced or...
Inclined plane force components. Ice accelerating down an incline. Force of friction keeping the block stationary. Correction to force of friction keeping the block stationary. Force of friction keeping velocity constant. Intuition on static and kinetic friction comparisons. Static and kinetic friction example.
When forces in a particular dimension cancel each other out, they're balanced and result in zero net force. When forces in a particular dimension do not cancel each other out, they're unbalanced and result a nonzero net force. Explore balanced and unbalanced forces through five different scenarios involving a rock and various forces acting on it.
