Front

What is the combined force exerted by Jaime and Sam on the box if each exerts 150 N?

Back

300 N

Front

What is the net force acting on a bowl that is pushed to the right and slows down due to a friction force of 30 N?

Back

-30 N

Front

If a book weighs 20 N and is resting on a desk, what is the force of the desk on the book?

Back

20 N

Front

If Jaime and Sam lift a box weighing 200 N and each exerts 150 N upwards, which way is the box accelerating?

Back

Up

Front

Is the statement 'This object is not in equilibrium because 40 does not equal 60' true or false?

Back

False

Front

Define net force.

Back

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

Front

What is the principle of equilibrium in physics?

Back

An object is in equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero.

Front

What does it mean when an object is accelerating upwards?

Back

The net force acting on the object is greater than the force of gravity.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, acting parallel to the surface of contact.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force = Total applied forces - Total opposing forces.
