Front

What is the net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object, calculated by combining all individual forces acting on it.

Front

Forces that have a net force of Zero (0) are ______________.

Back

Balanced force

Front

Which of the following objects will experience an unbalanced force? A ball rolling across the floor with friction acting in the opposite direction.

Back

A ball rolling across the floor with friction acting in the opposite direction.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is not zero?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

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

Back

25 N in the same direction.

Front

If a 5 N force acts to the right and a 3 N force acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

2 N to the right.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
