Balance and Unbalanced forces

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that results in a net force that is not zero, causing an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in the object's motion.

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

If two forces of 40 N right and 40 N left are acting on an object, what is the net force?

Back

0 N (Balanced force)

Front

If a box is pushed with a force of 10 N to the right and 4 N to the left, what is the net force?

Back

6 N right (Unbalanced force)

Front

What direction does an object move if the net force is directed upwards?

Back

The object moves up.

Front

If an object has a net force of 2 N right, what can we say about its motion?

Back

The object is accelerating to the right.

Front

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

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

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

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

If a box is moving to the left, what can we infer about the forces acting on it?

Back

The net force is directed to the left.
