The Nature of Force
Combining Forces
-
When forces act in the same direction, the net force can be found by adding the strengths of the individual forces.
When forces act in opposite directions, they also combine to produce a net force.
-
Unbalanced Forces
Unbalanced forces can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.
Unbalanced forces acting on an object result in a net force and cause a change in the object's motion.
Balanced Forces
-
-
When equal forces are exerted in opposite directions, the net force is zero.
-
What is a Force?
-
Similar to velocity and acceleration, a force is described by its strength and the direction in which it acts.
