Net Forces

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the net force when two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

Define balanced forces.

Back

Balanced forces are forces that have a net force of zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that results in a net force greater than zero, causing an object to accelerate.

Front

If an object is at rest and the net force acting on it is zero, what can be said about the forces?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

Calculate the net force if a 10 N force acts to the right and a 6 N force acts to the left.

Back

The net force is 4 N to the right.

Front

What direction will an object move if the net force is directed to the left?

Back

The object will move to the left.

Front

If a 50 N force acts to the right and a 30 N force acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 20 N to the right.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

If an object experiences a net force of 0 N, what can be inferred about its motion?

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
