Net Forces Review

Front

What is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined?

Back

Net force

Front

If an object is pushed with a force and does not move, what can be said about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is not zero?

Back

It will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If you push on a stationary object and it does not move, what can you say about the force exerted by the object on you?

Back

It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to your force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

If a net force of 35 N is acting on an object, what can be inferred about the object's motion?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that results in a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

If two forces of 20 N and 15 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

35 N

Front

If a force of 10 N acts to the right and a force of 5 N acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

5 N to the right.
