Net Force Assignment

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 acceleration.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in the same direction?

Back

Add the magnitudes of the forces together.

Front

How do you calculate Net Force when forces are in opposite directions?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is Newton (N).

Front

If two forces of 30 N and 20 N are acting in the same direction, what is the Net Force?

Back

50 N in the same direction.

Front

If a 50 N force is acting to the right and a 30 N force is acting to the left, what is the Net Force?

Back

20 N to the right.

Front

What happens if the Net Force is zero?

Back

If the Net Force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the significance of direction in Net Force?

Back

The direction of the Net Force determines the direction of the object's acceleration.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

Two equal forces acting in opposite directions, such as 10 N left and 10 N right.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

A 15 N force to the right and a 10 N force to the left results in a Net Force of 5 N to the right.
