Sonam was reading about balanced and unbalanced forces. She read that the gravitational force of sun and moon also acts on us. She wondered why we don’t fly towards these bodies. Her teacher, however, listened to her patiently and stored her doubts.
(a) What values of Sonam do you observe?

(b) Throw light on characteristic values of her teacher.

(c) Distinguish between balanced and unbalanced forces.

(d) What explanation would you give towards Sonam’s questions?

(e) Good reading habits lead to constructive learning. Comment.
(c). Balanced forces are those in which F_net = 0 N, whereas Unbalanced forces are those in which F_net ≠ 0 N.
(d). Gravitational force is a weak force and it depends upon distance and earth is closer to us than sun or moon, so pulling of the earth is more effective than the other two.
