SJH 6th Grade - Fall Final Exam Review

Front

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 motion.

Front

How do you calculate net force when two forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

To find the net force, subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What does it mean for a material to be elastic?

Back

A material is elastic if it can stretch or compress and return to its original shape without breaking.

Front

What happens to net force when multiple forces act in the same direction?

Back

When forces act in the same direction, you add their magnitudes to find the net force.

Front

What is an applied force?

Back

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is the effect of net force being zero on an object?

Back

If the net force is zero, the object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
