Balanced and UnBalanced Forces

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the overall force acting on an object, which can be unbalanced or balanced.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

Balanced forces result in no change in motion.

Front

What is the net force of an object with 400 N force downward and 400 N force upward?

Back

The net force is 400 N downward.

Front

What are force vectors?

Back

Force vectors show the direction and size of the force.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force is when the net force acting on an object is zero.

Front

What does it mean if an object is in motion with balanced forces?

Back

It means the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

Pushing a stationary car to make it move.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause the object to accelerate or change direction.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force is calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking direction into account.
