(5 cards)
1
Q
if all forces acting on an object is balanced there would be no….
A
acceleration
2
Q
if all forces are balanced that would mean
A
object is moving at a constant velocity or is stationary
3
Q
if forces are equal they are…
A
a balanced pair of forces
4
Q
balanced forces are (‘properties’)
A
-equal in size and opposite in direction
-there would be no change in motion
-objects stays still (stationary) or moves at a constant speed/velocity
5
Q
unbalanced forces (‘properties’)
A
-not equal —> one force is bigger
-object speeds up, slows down, or changes in direction
-causes acceleration (a change in velocity)
