Back

You ADD the forces together.

Front

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

Front

If a cat applies a force of 100 N and then doubles it, what is the new force?

Back

200 N

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

If two forces of 10 N and 15 N act in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

5 N in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force causes an object to change its motion.

Front

If a box is pushed with a force of 30 N to the right and a force of 10 N to the left, what is the net force?

Back

20 N to the right.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).

Front

If no forces are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 0 N.
