A force that causes an object to change its motion.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force.
