Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

If two teams are pulling with the same amount of force, what will happen?

Back

They will not move at all.

Front

Back

all

Front

This type of force resists motion between two surfaces that are pressed together.

Back

friction

Front

What force does a parachute use to slow things down before hitting the ground?

Back

Air resistance

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a type of friction that acts against an object moving through the air.

Front

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

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is the difference between contact force and non-contact force?

Back

Contact force requires physical contact between objects, while non-contact force acts at a distance (e.g., gravity, magnetism).
