Physics (newton's laws)

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is the direction of the net force if it is 9N to the right?

Back

The object moves to the right.

Front

How do you find the net force when two forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

Add the forces together.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that have a net force of zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Forces that result in a net force greater than zero, causing a change in motion.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when balanced forces act on it?

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

What happens to a moving object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

It accelerates in the direction of the net force.

Front

If a 5N force to the right and a 3N force to the right are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

8N to the right.

Front

If a 10N force to the left and a 4N force to the right are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

6N to the left.
