Physics 8 - Module 1: Forces

Friction is the force acting against or opposite of an object on contact with, which makes the movement of the object slow down.

Magnitude points where the object goes.

Point of application is the location where the force is applied.

To solve for the net force, you get the sum of all the forces exerted in the object.

10N of force is exerted on a box, it is expected to move in the direction opposite the side where the force is applied.

Forces always occur in pairs.

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object.

Balanced forces are forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.

Gravitational and magnetic forces are examples of contact forces.

Force is a push or a pull that is applied to an object.

Two groups in a game of tag are pulling on a rope with the same amount of force in opposite directions. The rope will

What forces acts perpendicular to the surface of the in contact with?

If the forces in an object is balanced, the net force is _________

What refers to how large or strong a force is?

What force pulls an object back to Earth?

What force is always applied opposite to the motion of an object?

What is the net force exerted on the object in the picture?

An example of non - contact force is

The Earth has a bigger mass than the Moon. If you were to travel to the Moon, what happens to your weight?

A leaf falls from a tree. What force(s) are acting on it?
