The ONE thing your teacher is NOT telling you that will simply forces!
Forces are all around us and are the reason why objects accelerate (speed up, slow down or change direction)! Forces can either be balanced or unbalanced. When the forces are balanced, the net force is 0 and the object's motion will not...
