Physics

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?

• They cancel each other out.

• The stronger one prevails.

• Their strengths are added.

• Their sum divided by two is the total force.

Any force that causes an object to move in a circle is called a(n)

• balanced force

• gravitational force.

• unbalanced force

• centripetal force

According to Newton’s third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force on a nail, the nail

• creates a friction with the hammer.

• disappears into the wood.

• exerts an equal and opposite force on the hammer.

• moves at a constant speed.
