Net Force

Front

What happens to forces acting in the same direction?

Back

They should be added together.

Front

What is the direction of the net force if it is acting to the right?

Back

The net force is acting to the right.

Front

What should be done with forces acting in opposite directions?

Back

They should be subtracted from each other.

Front

What occurs if the acceleration and velocity of an object are in the same direction?

Back

The object will speed up.

Front

What happens to an object if its velocity is to the left and it experiences a net force to the left?

Back

The object will slow down.

Front

Define net force.

Back

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the effect of a net force of zero on an object's motion?

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.

Front

How does increasing net force affect acceleration?

Back

Increasing net force results in greater acceleration, according to Newton's second law (F=ma).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration when a net force is applied?

Back

For a given net force, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).
