Sub Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net Force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What does it mean if forces are balanced?

Back

If forces are balanced, it means that the total net force acting on an object is zero, and the object will not accelerate.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in the same direction?

Back

You add the forces together.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in opposite directions?

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Net Force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces in One Direction - Total Forces in the Opposite Direction.

Front

If a 60 N force is acting to the right and a 40 N force is acting to the left, what is the Net Force?

Back

The Net Force is 20 N to the right.

Front

What direction will an object move if the Net Force is to the left?

Back

The object will move to the left.

Front

What does it mean if an object has a Net Force of 0?

Back

It means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

If two forces of 30 N and 30 N are acting in opposite directions, what is the Net Force?

Back

The Net Force is 0 N, meaning the forces are balanced.
