What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Forces are balanced when they are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force and no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be unbalanced?

Back

Forces are unbalanced when they are not equal, resulting in a net force that causes an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. A larger mass results in less acceleration for the same applied force.

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force (F_net) = Total forces acting in one direction - Total forces acting in the opposite direction.

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects due to their mass, commonly experienced as weight.

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

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

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest when balanced forces act on it, as there is no net force to cause movement.

Front

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

Back

An object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity when balanced forces act on it.

What is the effect of an unbalanced force on a stationary object?

Back

An unbalanced force acting on a stationary object will cause it to start moving in the direction of the net force.
