Balanced & Unbalanced Forces, Calculate Net Force

Front

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object?

Back

Net Force

Front

If two forces are acting in the same direction, what do you do to find the net force?

Back

Add the forces

Front

What happens to the net force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to accelerate or change its motion.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

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

Front

If a net force of 35 N is acting to the right, what is the direction of the object's motion?

Back

Right

Front

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects as the distance between them increases?

Back

The less gravity affects them.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

If a 10 N force is applied to the right and a 5 N force is applied to the left, what is the net force?

Back

5 N right

Front

What is the effect of an unbalanced force on an object at rest?

Back

It will cause the object to move.
