Unit 6

 
Unit 6 taught us about unbalanced forces. In the video the person is shooting an arrow. This demonstrates an unbalanced force. The bow applies force that causes the arrow to accelerate forward. Because the arrow accelerates, it is not balanced or doesn't experience equilibrium. Once airborne, the arrow is only under one force, the force of gravity. Since it is only experiencing one force, it is considered unbalance, because a balanced object is experiencing at least 2 forces. Overall, Unit 6 has been a big leap forward, it is different with a new equation, f=ma.
