SJH 6th Grade - Net Force Review

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net Force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

What direction does an object move if the net force is to the right?

Back

The object moves to the right.

Front

What is Gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth.

Front

What causes an object to move?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.

Front

What happens when two forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the net force is zero, and the object does not move.

Front

If two forces of 5N and 3N are acting in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 8N in the same direction.

Front

If a 10N force is applied to the right and a 4N force is applied to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 6N to the right.

Front

True or False: When forces are pushing in the same direction, the smaller force must be subtracted from the larger force to find net force.

Back

False. You add the forces together.

Front

What is the net force if an object has 11N to the left?

Back

The net force is 11N to the left.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A person pushing a stationary car to get it moving.
