Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What does it mean if the Net Force is balanced?

Back

The forces acting on an object are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean if the Net Force is unbalanced?

Back

The forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

Front

If a force of 10 N is applied to the right and a force of 10 N is applied to the left, what is the Net Force?

Back

0 N (Balanced Force)

Front

What is the formula to calculate Net Force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces acting in one direction - Total Forces acting in the opposite direction.

Front

If an object is moving at a constant speed, what can be said about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

If a car has a forward force of 100 N and a backward force of 40 N, what is the Net Force?

Back

60 N Forward

Front

What happens to an object if the Net Force acting on it is zero?

Back

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

Front

If a person lifts a box with a force of 30 N and gravity pulls down with a force of 30 N, what is the Net Force?

Back

0 N (Balanced Force)

Front

What is the direction of Net Force if a force of 50 N is applied to the right and a force of 20 N is applied to the left?

Back

30 N to the right.
