What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of 0 N.

Front

What is the net force when forces are balanced?

Back

The net force is 0 N when forces are balanced.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the forces acting on an object are not equal, resulting in a net force that causes the object to accelerate.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

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

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force is calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object, taking into account their directions.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object's motion?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion; the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

An example of balanced forces is a book resting on a table, where the gravitational force downward is balanced by the normal force upward.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

An example of unbalanced forces is a soccer ball being kicked, where the force of the kick is greater than the opposing forces.

Front

What is the relationship between net force and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F=ma).
