Resultant Force Flashcards
What happens when the resultant force acting on a stationary object is zero
The object will remain stationary
When two objects interact, what is the force they exert on each other
Equal and opposite force
What happens when the resultant force acting on a stationary object is not zero ?
The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force
What happens when the resultant force acting on a moving object is zero
The object will continue to move at the same speed in the same direction
What happens when the resultant force acting on a moving object is not zero
The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force
What is the resultant force ?
This is a single force that has the same effect on the object as all the individual forces acting together.
A change in resultant force acting on an object can cause ?
A change in the objects state of rest or motion
