Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net Force is the total force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).

Front

What are Balanced Forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero. The object remains at rest or in constant motion.

Front

What are Unbalanced Forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal and opposite, resulting in a net force that causes an object to accelerate or change its motion.

Front

If a force of 60N is applied to the right and a force of 40N is applied to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 20N to the right.

Front

If two forces of 30N and 30N are applied in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 0N.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force is zero?

Back

When the net force is zero, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

Calculate the net force if 50N is applied to the left and 100N to the right.

Back

The net force is 50N to the right.

Front

What is the effect of a net force on an object?

Back

A net force causes an object to accelerate, change direction, or change its speed.

Front

If a box is pushed with a force of 10N to the right and another force of 5N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 15N to the right.
