Forces in Equilibrium (Gravity, Friction, Magnetism)

Science & Innovation

Your child can use arrows to diagram balanced and unbalanced physical forces acting on an object, calculating net motion outcomes.

In real life

Watching a loaded scooter or a tug-of-war on the beach, your child sketches the forces with arrows: "Gravity pulls the bags down, friction holds the wheels, and the bigger push wins."
