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 unit is used to measure force?

Back

The unit used to measure force is Newton (N).

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.

Front

If a force of 200 N is acting to the left and a force of 150 N is acting to the right, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 50 N to the left.

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

Two people pushing a car with equal force in opposite directions.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Force1 + Force2 (considering direction).

Front

What does it mean if the net force is zero?

Back

If the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the total forces acting on an object are not equal, causing a change in motion.

Front

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

Back

The net force is 40 N to the right.
