F=ma
100

The sum of all forces acting on an object

Net Force


100

When an object is in motion at a steady speed in a straight path

Dynamic Equilibrium

100

The force that holds an object in place on a surface; also called a support force

Normal force

100

What is happening to this object?

Accelerating to the right

100

Find the acceleration:

Fnet = 12N, m= 4 kg

F=ma, so a=F/m

12/4= 3 m/s2

200

When the sum of all forces acting on an object is equal to zero

Balanced Forces

200

If an object is on a ramp and isn't moving, it is because of ________ friction

Static

200

The force applied by one object to another object

Applied force

200

What two forces are acting on this tire swing? 

Tension and gravity

200

Find the Fnet

6 kg object, accelerating at 2.5 m/s2

Fnet= 15N

300

When the sum of all forces acting on an object is not equal to zero (the object experiences a change)

Unbalanced Forces

300

If an object is accelerating and has friction acting on it, that is ________________ friction

Sliding

300

The force that pulls all objects toward the center of the Earth

Gravitational force

300

If she is no longer accelerating, what do we say about the Fnet    

Fnet = 0    or      terminal velocity

300

Find the mass

Fnet= 28N, a= 4 m/s2

7 kg (F=ma...28=4a)

400

A contact force between two objects that acts in the opposite direction of the applied force

Frictional Force

400

If friction and applied force are equal and an object is moving, it is in ________________  equilibrium 

Dynamic

400

This found by multiplying mass x gravity

Weight OR Gravitational Force

400

Is it POSSIBLE that this object is in motion?

Yes, same Fapp as Ff

400

Find the mass

F= 2300 N

230 kg

500

When an object is at rest

Static Equilibrium

500

Why will a ball thrown in space continue until it hits something

No friction

500

This used as a visual representation of  forces acting on an object

THIS IS IN MOTION 

What could be happening to it? 

Sliding without friction

Slowing down (friction ----> )

500

Find the tension force if it is not accelerating:

Hanging basket with a mass of 25 kg
