An object is pushed to the right with 6 N and pulled to the left with 2 N. What is the net force?
4N to the Right
Newtons 1st law

A. The wall pushes on the skater when the skater pushes on the wall
B. The wheels slow down, and the skater stops
C. The skater exerts force on the wall, and the wheels exert force on the floor and begin to turn
D. The friction of the floor decreases when the wheels roll on the floor
A
True or False
Balanced forces have a net force of 0
True
A runner completes a 400-meter lap in 50 seconds.
What is her speed?
8 meters per second
Two people push a box from opposite sides. One pushes with 10 N and the other with 10 N. What is the net force?
The more force I use to hit the ball the further the ball will fly
Newtons 2nd Law

A. The duck will stop moving
B. The duck will stop and then start moving again
C. The duck will continue moving in its current direction
D. The duck will move in the direction that the stream is flowing
C
If two people are on opposite sides playing tug of war and exerting the same force, what side will win?
Neither, because the same force is applied to both sides of the rope.
A bike travels 120 kilometers in 3 hours.
What is its speed?
40 kilometers per hour
If you push a 3 kg object with a force of 12 N, what is the acceleration?
4 m/s²
A swimmer pushes against the wall, and the wall pushes back
Newtons 3rd Law

Which sections are balanced?
Which sections are unbalanced?
Balanced: section 1 and section 3
Unbalanced: section 2 and section 4
Does a Balanced Force cause an object to move?
No, it stays stationary.
A train is moving at 90 km/h. How far does it travel in 2.5 hours
225 kilometers
An object has a mass of 10 kg and is accelerating at 2.5 m/s². What is the net force acting on it?
25 N
(F = ma → 10 × 2.5 = 25 N)
A cart with a mass of 10 kg is pushed with a force of 50 N
5 meters per second squared (5 m/s²

A. North
B. South
C. East
D. West
C
What is an Balanced Force?
Provide a example in the classroom?
When forces are balanced they cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion.
A cheetah runs 1,500 meters in 2.5 minutes.
What is its speed in meters per second?
10 meters per second
(2.5 minutes = 150 seconds → 1,500 ÷ 150 = 10 m/s)
A force moves a 4 kg object from rest to a speed of 16 m/s in 4 minutes. What is the net force?
What is 0.27 N?
→ 4 minutes = 240 seconds
→ Acceleration = (16 m/s - 0 m/s) ÷ 240 s = 0.0667 m/s²
→ F = ma → 4 kg × 0.0667 ≈ 0.27 N
An object accelerates at 2 m/s² when a force of 30 N is applied.
What is the mass of the object?
15 kilograms
