Net Force Practice

Front

What do you do when the vectors (arrows) point in the same direction?

Back

You add the forces together.

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object, taking into account their direction.

Front

If an object is not moving, the forces acting upon it are _____________.

Back

balanced.

Front

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object called?

Back

Net Force.

Front

A ____________ is a push or a pull on an object.

Back

force.

Front

What happens to the net force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

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

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

How do you calculate net force when forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).
