Net Forces

Front

With unbalanced forces, the object will move in the direction of the _______ force.

Back

larger

Front

Forces that have a net force of zero (the object is still).

Back

Balanced force

Front

What is the net force?

Back

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

Front

Calculate the net force shown in the diagram?

Back

The resultant force calculated from the vector sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

You and your dad are moving the couch from one side to another. Your dad pushes with a force of 35 N to the right and you push with a force of 25 N right. What is the net force on the couch?

Back

60 N right

Front

What is a net force?

Back

The vector sum of all individual forces acting on an object.

Front

What happens when the net force is greater than zero?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

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

Front

If two forces of 10 N and 15 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

25 N in the same direction.
