Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in the same direction?

Back

Add the magnitudes of the forces together.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in opposite directions?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the formula for Net Force?

Back

Net Force (F_net) = F1 + F2 + ... + Fn, where F1, F2, ..., Fn are the individual forces.

If a car is pushed with a force of 100 N to the right and 50 N to the left, what is the Net Force?

Back

50 N to the right.

Front

What is Force?

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

What happens to the Net Force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The Net Force is zero.

Front

If a person pulls a cart with a force of 30 N and another person pushes it with a force of 20 N in the same direction, what is the Net Force?

Back

50 N in the direction of the pull.

Front

What is the direction of Net Force if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced?

Back

The direction of the Net Force is in the direction of the larger force.

Front

If an object is at rest and no forces are acting on it, what is the Net Force?

Back

The Net Force is zero.
