Balanced, Unbalanced, and Net Force Review

Front

What is the unit to MEASURE force?

Back

Newton

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion; unbalanced forces do.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

The object does not move.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The total force acting on an object, taking into account both magnitude and direction.

Front

If two teams are pulling with the same amount of force, what is the net force?

Back

0N, No Movement.

Front

If a net force of 6N is acting to the left, what is the direction of the object's movement?

Back

Left.

Front

What is the net force if two equal forces of 5N are pulling in opposite directions?

Back

0N.

Front

What is the effect of a net force of 8N to the right?

Back

The object will accelerate to the right.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Add forces in the same direction and subtract forces in opposite directions.
