Balanced and Unbalanced forces

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Forces that have a net force of zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Forces that result in a net force greater than zero, causing a change in motion.

Front

What is the net force when two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero, resulting in balanced forces.

Front

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

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

If a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, what is its average speed?

Back

20 m/s.

Front

In a tug of war, if one team pulls with 300N and the other with 300N, what is the resultant force?

Back

The resultant force is 0N, indicating balanced forces.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If a person is standing still, what type of forces are acting on them?

Back

Balanced forces, as the gravitational force is equal to the normal force.

Front

What is the resultant force if one team pulls with 400N to the right and another with 200N to the left?

Back

The resultant force is 200N to the right.
