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. It determines the object's motion.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the net force is zero, and the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If an object has a net force of 0 N, what can we conclude about its motion?

Back

The object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

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

If two forces of 10 N and 5 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 15 N in the direction of the applied forces.

Front

If a 10 N force acts to the right and a 5 N force acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 5 N to the right.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.
