Balanced and Unbalanced Forces HW

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the net force acting on an object?

Back

The overall force acting on an object, which can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What does it mean if forces are balanced?

Back

The net force is zero, and the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

How do you determine the direction of net force?

Back

The net force acts in the direction of the larger force when forces are unbalanced.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force when forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

Net Force = Larger Force - Smaller Force.

Front

If two forces of 5 N and 3 N act in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

2 N in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What does it mean if an object is in motion with unbalanced forces?

Back

The object is accelerating in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is the significance of the net force being zero?

Back

The object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

If an object has a net force of 3 N to the left, what can be inferred?

Back

There is a larger force acting to the left than any opposing forces.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in the context of unbalanced forces?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
