Net Force

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined.

Front

What happens if the net force acting on an object is zero?

Back

The object will stay the same or not move.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

If an object is moving to the left, what can we infer about the net force?

Back

The net force is likely directed to the left.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

If two forces of 5 N and 10 N are acting in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

15 N in the direction of the forces.

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 to the right.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in equilibrium?

Back

The net force acting on the object is zero.

Front

How do you calculate net force when forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

Two people pushing a car with equal force in opposite directions.
