Back

A balanced force is when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

60 N to the right.

Front

What is the net force if an object experiences 400 N up and 400 N down?

Back

0 N, Balanced.

Front

If the net force on an object is 0 N, what does that indicate about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

What is the result of a net force of 400 N down?

Back

The object will accelerate downward.

Front

If two forces of 40 N left and 40 N right are applied to an object, what is the net force?

Back

0 N, Balanced.
