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. It determines the object's motion.

Front

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

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force and indicate the direction of the larger force.

Front

If a car is moving north with a force of 78936 N and the wind is pushing south with a force of 5 N, what is the Net Force?

Back

78931 N North.

Front

What happens to an object when the forces acting on it are balanced?

Back

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

Front

What is the direction of motion when unbalanced forces act on an object?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

If a car has a forward force of 54 N and a backward force of 73 N, what is the Net Force?

Back

19 N backwards.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, creating a downward force.

Front

If a person lifts a book with a force of 50 N and gravity exerts a force of 15 N downwards, what is the Net Force?

Back

35 N upwards.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Net Force?

Back

Net Force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

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

Back

It means that the object is in equilibrium and there is no change in its motion.
