The net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is zero?
Back
When the net force is zero, the object is in a state of equilibrium, meaning it will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
Back
Newton's 1st Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
Back
Newton's 2nd Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
Back
Newton's 3rd Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an example of balanced forces?
Back
An example of balanced forces is a book resting on a table; the force of gravity pulling it down is balanced by the normal force from the table pushing it up.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an example of unbalanced forces?
Back
An example of unbalanced forces is when a person pushes a shopping cart; the force applied causes the cart to accelerate.
