Net Forces

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

If two forces of 15 N are acting in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

30 N Right

Front

What happens to the net force when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the net force is 0 N, meaning there is no change in motion.

Front

If a force of 5 N to the right and a force of 45 N to the right are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

50 N Right

Front

What is the net force if 40 N is acting to the right and 0 N is acting to the left?

Back

40 N Right

Front

If a force of 5.5 N is acting to the left and a force of 2.5 N is acting to the right, what is the net force?

Back

3 N Left

Front

What is the net force when two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is 0 N, as the forces cancel each other out.

Front

How do you calculate net force when forces are in the same direction?

Back

Add the magnitudes of the forces together.

Front

How do you calculate net force when forces are in opposite directions?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force and take the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).
