What is Net Force?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the net force when two forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

In a tug-of-war, if one team pulls with a greater force, what happens to the rope?

Back

The rope moves in the direction of the team pulling with the greater force.

Front

If a person lifts a book with a force of 50 N and gravity pulls down with 15 N, what is the net force?

Back

35 N up.

Front

What does it mean if the net force is unbalanced?

Back

It means that there is a net force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force when forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

Add the forces together.

Front

If Team A pulls with 25 N and Team B pulls with 35 N, which team wins?

Back

Team B wins by 10 N.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

When two people push on a door with equal force in opposite directions, the door does not move.

Front

What happens to an object if the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).
