Front

If F_net = 0, the forces acting on an object are...

Back

Front

Suppose a man pushes a crate with a force of 20 N north. What are the magnitude and direction of the reaction force?

Back

20 N south

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull acting on an object.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

F_net = F_applied - F_friction.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

The total forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)
