Balanced and UnBalanced Forces-2

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing a change in motion or direction.

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

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

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

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

Front

What is a force vector?

Back

A force vector is a representation of a force that shows both its magnitude (size) and direction.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be in equilibrium?

Back

Forces are in equilibrium when the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

Can an object be moving if the forces acting on it are balanced?

Back

Yes, an object can be moving at a constant speed if the forces acting on it are balanced.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces in everyday life?

Back

Pushing a shopping cart; if you push harder on one side, it will move in that direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, often caused by contact with another surface.
