Front

What is the unit for FORCE?

Back

N (Newtons)

Front

Which direction will the net force be if two forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

The net force will be in the same direction as the forces.

Front

If both people are exerting a force of 30 N in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

60 N

Front

How do you find the net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

Back

Add the forces acting in the same direction and subtract the forces acting in the opposite direction.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A person pushing a car that is not moving.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces in One Direction - Total Forces in the Opposite Direction.

Front

If a 10 N force is applied to the right and a 5 N force is applied to the left, what is the net force?

Back

5 N to the right.

Front

What type of force is gravity?

Back

A pulling force that attracts objects towards each other.
