Force Review

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.

Front

In which direction does friction act?

Back

Friction acts in the opposite direction of movement.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is the effect of an unbalanced force on an object?

Back

An unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate, change direction, or change shape.

Front

How can you achieve equilibrium in forces?

Back

To achieve equilibrium, the total forces acting on an object must be equal and opposite.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to change its motion.
