Net Force Practice

Front

What is net force?

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

When vectors point away from each other, what operation do you perform?

Back

Subtracting.

Front

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

Back

The object does not move; it is in equilibrium.

Front

If a soccer ball is kicked with a force of 50N to the left, what is the direction of the net force?

Back

50N Left.

Front

What does a net force of 100N to the right indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating to the right with a force of 100N.

Front

Can a net force result in motion?

Back

Yes, a net force can cause an object to start moving or change its motion.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces result in no change in motion; the object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant speed.

Front

If two forces of 30N and 20N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

50N in the same direction.

Front

If a force of 10N acts to the right and a force of 10N acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

0N; the forces cancel each other out.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).
