Front

What is the net force if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced and result in a force of 40 N?

Back

40 N

Front

What is the magnitude and direction of the net force if it is 1 N to the left?

Back

1 N to the left

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces acting in one direction - Total Forces acting in the opposite direction

Front

What is the definition of frictional force?

Back

The force that opposes the motion of an object in contact with a surface.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is the normal force?

Back

The force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.
