Net Force

Front

What happens to acceleration when force is increased?

Back

Acceleration increases.

Front

How are vertical direction forces described in a balanced free body diagram?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

What is the formula to calculate mass when given net force and acceleration?

Back

Mass = Net Force / Acceleration.

Front

If an object is at rest and the downward force due to gravity is known, what force can be determined?

Back

The normal force.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Force and acceleration are directly proportional.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What does a free body diagram represent?

Back

A free body diagram represents all the forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the effect of mass on acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration.

Front

What is the equation for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is the significance of balanced forces in an object at rest?

Back

Balanced forces mean the object remains at rest.
