__________ forces are those that press equally on either side of an object.

Balanced

If you have balanced forces on either side of an object it will __________.

not move

A push or pull is the result of _________________ forces.

unbalanced

An object, like a bicycle, going uphill will have less _______ than an object going downhill.

momentum

slows
