Net Force

Front

What happens in a tug-of-war when one group pulls with a greater force than the other?

Back

The group pulling with the greater force will win, and the object (e.g., ribbon) will move in their direction.

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newtons (N).

Front

How do you calculate net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

Back

Net force is calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking into account their direction.

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.

Front

If an object has a net force of 0 N, what can we say about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces acting on the object are balanced.

Front

What is the net force if a 10 N force acts to the right and a 5 N force acts to the left?

Back

The net force is 5 N to the right.

What does it mean if an object is in a state of equilibrium?

Back

It means that the net force acting on the object is zero, and it is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object's motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, change direction, or change its state of motion.

Front

In a tug-of-war, if group A pulls with 250 N and group B pulls with 400 N, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 150 N to the right (in favor of group B).

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a).
