Balanced and Unbalanced forces

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when two or more forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined.

Front

How do balanced forces affect motion?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object; it remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

How do unbalanced forces affect motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, change direction, or change speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If a runner completes a 100-meter race in 10 seconds, what is their speed?

Back

10 m/s.

Front

What happens when two people pull on a rope with equal force?

Back

The rope does not move; the forces are balanced.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
