Question

the arrows on the apple represent forces. the forces are in size. they act in directions. the apple changing in the way it moves. the apple changing shape. gravity tension balanced unbalanced different equal opposite is is not is not

Explanation:

• When forces are balanced, they are equal in size and act in opposite directions. Since the apple is in a state of equilibrium (not changing its motion or shape), the forces (gravity pulling down and tension in the stem pulling up) are balanced.
• For motion: If forces were unbalanced, the apple would accelerate. Since it's hanging still, it's not changing its motion.
• For shape: The forces are not deforming the apple (no indication of stretching, compressing etc. beyond normal), so it's not changing shape.

Answer:

1. balanced
2. equal
3. opposite
4. is not
5. is not
