Force Diagrams

Front

What is the term for the force that propels an object forward, often used in vehicles?

Back

Thrust

Front

What is the term for the overall force acting on an object, taking into account both magnitude and direction?

Back

Net Force

Front

What type of force is applied to move an object to the right across a surface?

Back

Applied Force

Front

What do we call a situation where all forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, resulting in no acceleration?

Back

Balanced Forces

Front

What type of force opposes the motion of an object sliding on a surface?

Back

Frictional Force

Front

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

Back

They cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is the force that acts downward on an object due to gravity?

Back

Weight

Front

What is the term for the force that acts perpendicular to the surface of contact between two objects?

Back

Normal Force

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's second law of motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

What type of force is responsible for keeping an object in circular motion?

Back

Centripetal Force
