Front

What is the definition of balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of 0 N.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is 0?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the net force on an object at rest?

Back

The net force on an object at rest is 0 N.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

If a force of 26 N is applied to two objects of different masses, how do you determine which object has greater acceleration?

Back

Use the formula F=ma; the object with less mass will have greater acceleration when the same force is applied.

Front

What is the normal force?

Back

The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces result in no change in motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is weight force?

Back

Weight force is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g).

Front

What is frictional force?

Back

Frictional force is the force that opposes the motion of an object, acting parallel to the surfaces in contact.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken.
