Question 1 (2 points) Tim is pushing a box with a 7 N force. The weight of the box is 5 N. A frictional force
of 3 N is acting on the box as it is being pushed. The ground is holding the box up
with a 5 N force. These forces are shown in the diagram below.

What forces (Normal Force, Force of Gravity, Force of Friction or Applied Force) are
balanced in this scenario?

Click the game tab at the bottom of the simulation and select level 1. (there is no seesaw balance for this part of the activity.) balance the first equation, and click check to see if you got it right. if you can’t balance it in the first try, you can try again. work through the five equations for level 1. click continue to go on to level 2, and later level 3. each level is more difficult than the one before. keep trying until all the equations are balanced. in one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.
