Net Force

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal and opposite, resulting in a net force that causes an object to accelerate.

Front

If two forces of 30 N and 20 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

50 N in the same direction.

Front

If a force of 40 N acts to the right and a force of 25 N acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

15 N to the right.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

In a tug of war, if one person pulls with 70 N to the left and another with 50 N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

20 N to the left.

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force?

Back

Net Force = Force1 + Force2 + ... + ForceN.

Front

If a car is pushed with a force of 100 N to the right and a frictional force of 40 N acts to the left, what is the net force?

Back

60 N to the right.

Front

What is the effect of net force on motion?

Back

Net force determines the acceleration of an object according to Newton's second law of motion.
