| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Force: | A force is a push or pull on an object. |
| Measured: | Forces are measured in units called Newtons(N). |
| What does it do? | It can cause the object to start moving or stop moving or change direction. |
| Net Force: | A net force id the overall (or combined) forces acting on an object. |
| When do i subtract? | When forces act in Different directions. |
| When do i add? | When forces act in the Same direction. |
| Balanced Force: | Are egual forces acting on one object in opposite directions will Not change an objects motion. |
| Unbalanced Force: | Occurs when the net force changes an object's motion. |
| Friction: | Is the force one substance exerts on another substance when two rub against each other. |
| Formula for distance: | D=SxT. |
| Formula for time: | T=D/S |
| Formula for speed: | S=D/T |
