What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces occur when two forces acting in opposite directions are equal in size, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be unbalanced?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. A larger mass results in less acceleration for the same applied force.

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be caused by a change in speed or direction.

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

The relationship is described by Newton's second law: F = m × a, meaning force equals mass times acceleration.

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force applied is increased?

Back

If the force applied to an object increases while its mass remains constant, the acceleration of the object will also increase.

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object, pulling it downward.

How do you determine the direction of net force?

Back

The direction of net force is determined by the direction of the greater force when forces are unbalanced.
