What does the 'F' represent in a Free Body Diagram?

Back

Force.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

When the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is unbalanced force?

Back

When the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing a change in motion.

Front

If two forces of 30N are acting in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

0N.

Front

What happens to an object when a net force is applied?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

If a 10N force is applied to the right and a 4N force to the left, what is the net force?

Back

6N to the right.
