Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net Force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What happens when two teams pull with the same amount of force?

Back

They will not move at all.

Front

How do you find the net force when two forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

Add the forces together.

Front

If a person is lifting a book with a force of 50 N and gravity pulls down with 15 N, what is the net force?

Back

35 N up.

Front

In a tug of war, if Team A pulls with 25 N and Team B pulls with 35 N, which team wins?

Back

Team B by 10 N.

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces in One Direction - Total Forces in Opposite Direction.

Front

If two forces of 10 N and 15 N are acting in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

5 N in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

If an object has a net force of 0 N, what does that mean?

Back

The object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is the effect of a net force greater than zero on an object?

Back

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