Net force review

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull acting upon an object.

Front

What are two examples of forces?

Back

Friction and gravity.

Front

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?

Back

You add the forces together.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

If the net force is greater than 0 Newtons, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

Back

The object is unbalanced and accelerating.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).

Front

What does it mean if forces are balanced?

Back

Balanced forces mean that the net force is 0, and the object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

If an object has a net force of 3N to the left, which direction is it moving?

Back

The object is moving to the left.

Front

What is the result of a net force of 2.2 N to the right?

Back

The object is accelerating to the right.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.
