Net Force & F=MA

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

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

Back

larger.

Front

What is the SI unit used to measure force?

Back

newtons.

Front

Calculate the net force shown in the diagram: 3 N to the right and 3 N to the left.

Back

0 N.

Front

What is the net force in this example: 100 N to the right and 50 N to the left?

Back

50 N to the right.

Front

What does F=MA stand for?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Front

If an object has a mass of 2 kg and an acceleration of 3 m/s², what is the force?

Back

6 N.

Front

What happens to the net force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in F=MA?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if force is constant.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
