Net Forces

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force is calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking into account their direction.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the net force is zero, and there is no acceleration.

Front

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Back

When forces are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

Front

If a force of 8 N is applied to the left and a force of 4 N is applied to the right, what is the net force?

Back

4 N to the left.

Front

What is the net force if two equal forces of 10 N are applied in opposite directions?

Back

0 N (balanced forces).

Front

In a tug of war, if Team A pulls with 25 N and Team B pulls with 35 N, which team wins?

Back

Team B wins by 10 N.

Front

What is the effect of net force on an object's motion?

Back

Net force determines whether an object will accelerate, decelerate, or remain at rest.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A car accelerating forward when the engine exerts more force than friction.

Front

If two forces of 15 N and 10 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

25 N in the same direction.
