Forces, Neet Force, Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Front

What is the upward force acting on a parachute called?

Back

Air resistance

Front

Define net force.

Back

The overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

An example of an unbalanced force is when one force acting on an object is greater than the opposing force, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What does net force indicate about an object's motion?

Back

Net force indicates whether an object will accelerate, remain at rest, or move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

If a player throws a ball, what is the action force?

Back

The action force is the player's impact on the ball.

Front

What is the reaction force when a player throws a ball?

Back

The reaction force is the force of the ball impacting on the player.

Front

How do balanced forces affect an object's motion?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion; the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

The object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
