Force Test

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are Unbalanced Forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is Friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting parallel to the surfaces in contact.

Front

What is Gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, pulling objects towards the center of the Earth.

Front

What is Tension Force?

Back

Tension force is the pulling force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Front

What is Compression Force?

Back

Compression force is a force that acts to compress or shorten an object, pushing its particles closer together.

Front

What is Shear Force?

Back

Shear force is a force that causes parts of a material to slide past one another in opposite directions.

Front

What is Torsion Force?

Back

Torsion force is a twisting force that causes rotation around an axis.

Front

What is Air Resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a type of frictional force that opposes the motion of an object through the air.

Front

What is the role of Friction when a cart moves down a ramp?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of the cart as it moves down the ramp, acting against the force of gravity.
