Dhanani- Force & Net Force Intro

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to move because the forces acting on it are not equal.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no movement.

Front

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

Newton (N) is the unit used to measure force.

Front

If two forces of 10N left and 5N right are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

5N left.

Front

What happens to an object when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if an object is at rest and the forces acting on it are balanced?

Back

The object will remain at rest because the forces cancel each other out.

Front

What is the effect of friction on moving objects?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down.

Front

How can you increase the net force acting on an object?

Back

By adding more force in the same direction or reducing opposing forces.
