Net Force Practice

Front

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.

Front

What does it mean if forces are balanced?

Back

Balanced forces mean that the total net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean if forces are unbalanced?

Back

Unbalanced forces result in a net force that is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If two forces of 35 N right and 65 N left are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 30 N left.

Front

If an object is stationary, what can we say about the forces acting on it?

Back

The forces acting on it are balanced.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force is greater than zero?

Back

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

Front

If a 900 N force is acting to the right and a 450 N force is acting to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 450 N right.

Front

What is the effect of a net force of 0 N on an object's motion?

Back

The object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant speed.

Front

How can you determine the direction of the net force?

Back

The direction of the net force is the same as the direction of the greater force when forces are unbalanced.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

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