Balanced and Unbalanced forces

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Forces that cause an object to accelerate or change its motion because they are not equal in size and opposite in direction.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

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

Front

How does an object move when balanced forces act on it?

Back

The object does not move; it remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object, calculated by combining all individual forces acting on it.

Front

If two forces of 30 N left and 25 N right are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

5 N left.

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

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

Front

If an object has a net force of 0 N, what can be said about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

What is the effect of a net force of 60 N to the left?

Back

The object will accelerate to the left.

Front

If an object is at rest and the net force acting on it is 0 N, what will happen?

Back

The object will remain at rest.

Front

What does it mean if an object is moving to the right with a net force of 0 N?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed to the right.
