Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object.

Front

What does it mean if the net force is 0 N?

Back

If the net force is 0 N, it means that all the forces acting on the object are balanced, and there is no change in motion.

Front

If you push a box with 35 N to the right and your friend pushes it with 25 N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 60 N unbalanced to the right.

Front

What causes an object to move?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an unbalanced force?

Back

Moving at a constant speed.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, they cause a change in the object's motion, such as starting to move, stopping, or changing direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting between surfaces in contact.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force is calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking into account their direction.
