forces Flashcards
is a force vector or scalor
what is it measured in
vector
newtons
what do balanced forces not do
do not change the velocity of a object
are equal forces acting in both directions balanced
yes
what will unbalanced forces do
they will change the velocity of a object since velocity involves speed and direction unbalanced forces can make an object speed up
when do balanced forces occur
when there is no resultant force on an object
when do unbalanced forces occur
when there is a resultant force causing an acceleration
what is mass
its measured in kg and it shows the amount of matter an object has
whats the equation for force
force = mass x acceleration
what way does motion go
what about friction
right
left
how do you work out the unbalanced force
thrust-friction
whats the unbalanced force
thrust - friction
what is friction
a force that always opposes motion
how do you calculate downward gravantional forces
x10
what do balanced forces do if a force doesnt make it behave differently
it continues to move with uniform velocity
