What are force vectors?

• shows the net force of an object

• show the mechanical energy of an object

• shows the direction and size of the force

• shows the way an object reflects light

Which of the answer choices is not an characteristic of a balanced force?

• no change in motion

• moving at a constant speed

• net force of zero

• causes a change in motion

If forces are going in the same direction, you should

• add the forces

• subtract the forces

• multiply the forces

• divide the net force

If a car is traveling faster and faster down a hill, you can be sure that-

• only gravity is acting on the car

• there is no friction acting on the car

• the net force on the car is 0

• unbalanced forces are acting on the object
