Force Pairs

Front

What are force pairs?

Back

Force pairs are the forces that two objects exert on each other. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams.

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 motion.

What happens when a bird hits a car windshield?

Back

The force of the car on the bird is equal to the force of the bird on the car, demonstrating Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

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

Front

What is unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal and opposite, causing a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force can be calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking into account their direction.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object.
