Balanced, Unbalanced, Static and Magnetic Forces

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is when the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to move.

Front

What happens when an object is acted upon by balanced forces?

Back

When an object is acted upon by balanced forces, it stays still or continues to move at a constant speed.

What is an example of a pull force?

Back

Pulling a wagon is an example of a pull force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down or stop.

Front

What role does gravity play in motion?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the Earth, affecting how they move.

Front

What is a static force?

Back

A static force is a force that does not cause movement, keeping an object at rest.

Front

How can magnets be used in construction?

Back

Magnets can be used to lift and move heavy metal objects, making construction easier.

Front

What is the difference between static and dynamic forces?

Back

Static forces act on objects at rest, while dynamic forces act on moving objects.
