Forces acting on an object may be balanced or unbalanced. When the forces acting on an object have <u>equal</u> strength and act in opposite directions, they are <u>balanced</u>. These forces cancel out one another, and the <u>motion</u> of the object does not <u>change</u>. When the forces acting on an object are <u>unbalanced</u>, they do not cancel out one another. An unbalanced force acting on an object results in the object’s motion <u>changing</u>. The object may change its <u>speed</u> (speed up or slow
down), or it may change its <u>direction</u>. <u>Friction</u> is a force that resists the motion or the tendency toward motion between two objects in contact with each other. <u>Gravity</u> is a force that pulls objects toward one another. For example, Earth pulls all objects toward it.
it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28
