Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal and opposite, causing a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

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

Front

What happens when the net force is zero?

Back

When the net force is zero, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What happens when the net force is greater than zero?

Back

When the net force is greater than zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

What are some examples of forces?

Back

Examples of forces include gravity, friction, tension, and applied force.

Front

What is the direction of force?

Back

The direction of force is the way in which the force is applied, which can be to the left, right, up, down, or at an angle.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object, acting in the opposite direction to the applied force.
