What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force is a situation where two or more forces acting on an object result in a net force of zero, meaning the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

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

Back

When balanced forces act on an object, there is no change in its motion; it remains still or moves at a constant speed.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate or change its state of motion.

Front

How do unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, change direction, or change its speed.

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object, determining the object's acceleration.

If two teams are pulling a rope with equal force, what is the result?

Back

If two teams pull a rope with equal force, the forces are balanced, and the rope does not move.

Front

What is the effect of a net force of zero on an object?

Back

A net force of zero means that the object will not accelerate; it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.

Front

Can an object be in motion if balanced forces are acting on it?

Back

Yes, an object can be in motion with balanced forces acting on it if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate, change direction, or change its speed.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; it is directly related to the object's mass.
