Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

1 A force is a push or a pull on an object. Forces are at work all around you all the time. More than one force can-and usually does- act on an object at the same time. Sometimes two forces act in the same direction. An example is when two people work together to push a heavy object. Sometimes the forces act in different directions.
