Balanced Unbalanced forces.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when two or more forces acting on an object do not cancel each other out, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

How do balanced forces affect motion?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object; it remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

How do unbalanced forces affect motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, occurring when two surfaces come into contact.

Front

On which surface would friction be the least?

Back

Friction is least on smooth surfaces like ice or water.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when balanced forces act on it?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest when balanced forces act on it.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when balanced forces act on it?

Back

An object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity when balanced forces act on it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

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