Forces

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

It stays in motion at a constant velocity.

Front

What does it mean if the net force (F_net) acting on an object is zero?

Back

The object is not accelerating.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

The force that opposes an object's motion as it moves through the air.

Front

Define inertia.

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Forces that are not equal and opposite, resulting in a net force that causes acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the net force is constant.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The attractive force between two objects due to their mass.
