Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

A tug of war game that no one wins.

Front

How do you calculate net force when forces are in the same direction?

Back

You add the values of the forces together.

Back

10 N.

Front

What are balanced forces on a sailboat?

Back

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

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

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

Front

What is the direction of motion if the net force is downward?

Back

The object will move down.

Front

What is the definition of net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the total force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate.
