Practice Net Force

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

How do you combine two forces acting in the same direction?

Back

You add the forces together.

Front

What is the definition of net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

If two forces of 30 N and 20 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

50 N in the direction of the forces.

Front

If two forces of 50 N and 30 N act in opposite directions, how do you find the net force?

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the net force if 40 N acts to the right and 25 N acts to the left?

Back

15 N to the right.

Front

What is the result of two equal forces acting in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero, and the object does not move.

Front

If a 10 N force pulls to the left and a 15 N force pulls to the right, what is the net force?

Back

5 N to the right.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

If an object has a net force of 0 N, what can be said about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces are balanced.
