Balanced and Unbalanced forces

Front

What is a net force?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

If Mom pushes with 25 N to the right and the child pushes with 6 N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

31 N right

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the net force is 0 N, and the object does not accelerate.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, the net force is not 0 N, and the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If an object has a net force of 5 N to the left, how will it move?

Back

It will move to the left.

Front

What is the definition of balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is the definition of unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that do not cancel each other out, resulting in a change in the object's motion.

Front

If an object is at rest and the net force acting on it is 0 N, what will happen?

Back

The object will remain at rest.

Front

If an object is moving and the net force acting on it is 0 N, what will happen?

Back

The object will continue to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the effect of a net force greater than 0 N on an object?

Back

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