Balanced and Unbalanced forces

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when two or more forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A force is a push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when balanced forces act on it?

Back

The object remains at rest.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when balanced forces act on it?

Back

The object continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, which can occur due to a change in speed or direction.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance / Time).

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to accelerate it.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
