Front

What happens when two forces are equal and opposite?

Back

The object will not move at all.

Front

How does mass affect force?

Back

More massive objects require more force to change their motion.

Front

What is the direction of force?

Back

Force has both magnitude and direction, indicating where the push or pull is applied.
