Net Force

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.

Front

If two forces act in opposite directions, how do you calculate the net force?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force and take the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the net force when a 50 N force to the right and a 30 N force to the left are applied?

Back

20 N to the right.

Front

In a tug of war, if Team A pulls with 25 N and Team B pulls with 35 N, which team wins?

Back

Team B wins by 10 N.

Front

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

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

If an object is at rest and no net force acts on it, what will happen?

Back

The object will remain at rest.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

How does friction affect net force?

Back

Friction reduces the net force acting on an object, making it harder to move.

Front

Calculate the net force if a 40 N force is applied to the right and there is 10 N of friction opposing it.

Back

30 N to the right.

Front

What is the net force if a 100 N force pulls to the left and a 60 N force pulls to the right?

Back

40 N to the left.
