Question

What type of forces balanced or unbalanced act on a rubber ball when we press it between our hands? What effect is produced in the ball?

Answer 1

Hint:In order to answer this question, we will first mention the type of force that acts on a rubber ball when we press it between our hands, and then we will also discuss the effect that is produced in the ball.

Complete answer:
When we press a rubber ball between our hands, balanced forces act on it and hence its shape changes. This is because two equal and opposite forces (balanced forces) are applied by our hands. So, the resultant of this force does not move the object, this is a balanced force.

A Balanced Force is a force that occurs when two equal-sized forces act in opposite directions on a body. A body in Balanced Force maintains its position, i.e., it may continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction or it may remain still.For eg.. A guy pushing against a wall is depicted in this picture. The forces at work here are balanced, and as a result, the wall does not shift.

Unbalanced force is a force that occurs when two forces acting in opposite directions on a body are not equal in magnitude and size. A body changes its position in an unbalanced force, i.e., we can see a moving item alter its direction, either increasing or lowering its speed, and a body at rest begins to move, and vice versa. For eg.. Practically everything that moves is the result of uneven forces acting on it. If you kick a football and it bounces around, it's because it's being pushed around by imbalanced forces.

Note: Unbalanced forces are created when the sum of all the forces acting on a body is not zero. These forces alter a body's state of rest or uniform motion. For example, the imbalanced force exerted by our hands causes a toy vehicle resting on the ground to start moving.
