Balanced, Unbalanced, and Net Force Review

Front

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object?

Back

Net Force

Front

What will cause an object to move?

Back

Unbalanced forces

Front

What is a force that has both strength and direction?

Back

A force is defined by its strength and direction.

Front

What happens when the net force on an object is zero?

Back

The object does not move; it is in a state of equilibrium.

Front

What are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction called?

Back

Balanced Forces

Front

What type of forces result in a change in motion?

Back

Unbalanced Forces

Front

If an object has a net force of 8N to the right, what is its movement?

Back

The object moves to the right.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the object's motion.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

Pushing a stationary car; the force applied is greater than the friction.

Front

What is the direction of a net force of 0N?

Back

No movement; the object remains at rest.
