Net Force

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

With unbalanced forces, the object will move in the direction of the _______ force.

Back

larger.

Front

What is the net force in this example? (If two forces of 100 N and 50 N act in the same direction)

Back

150 N.

Front

Calculate the net force shown in the diagram? (If two forces of 300 N and 100 N act in opposite directions)

Back

200 N.

Front

If there are two forces going in the opposite direction how would you find the net force?

Back

Subtract.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What happens when the net force on an object is zero?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

When the forces acting on an object are not equal and opposite, causing a change in motion.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

If a 10 N force and a 5 N force act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

15 N.
