Balanced and UnBalanced Forces-2

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing a change in the object's motion.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force is zero?

Back

When the net force is zero, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined.

Front

If you push a box with 30 N to the right and someone else pushes with 30 N to the left, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 0 N, meaning the forces are balanced.

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force?

Back

Net force = Force applied in one direction - Force applied in the opposite direction.

Front

If a car is accelerating, what type of force is acting on it?

Back

An unbalanced force is acting on the car, causing it to change its speed or direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.
