Dhanani- Force & Net Force Intro

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

If two forces of 20N right and 15N left are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

5N right.

Front

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

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is the direction of motion if the net force is directed to the left?

Back

The object will move to the left.

Front

What is the effect of a greater force acting on an object?

Back

A greater force will cause a greater acceleration of the object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

Two people pushing a car in opposite directions with equal force.
