Force & Net Force

Front

What is Force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The total force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

Forces that are not equal and opposite, causing a change in the object's motion.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force?

Back

Add all the forces acting on an object, taking direction into account.

Front

What happens when the Net Force is 0N?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between Force and Motion?

Back

Force causes an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What direction will an object move if the Net Force is to the left?

Back

The object will move to the left.
