Resultant Forces

Question 1

what is the resultant force?

Answer 1

The resultant force is the combination of all the forces on the object

Question 2

what effect does resultant forces have?

Answer 2

The resultant force changes an objects state of rest or motion

Question 3

what happens when there is no resultant force on a stationary object?

Answer 3

If there is no resultant force on a stationary object then the object will remain stationary

Question 4

what happens if there is no resultant force on a moving object?

Answer 4

If there in no resultant force on a moving object it will continue to move at the same velocity

Question 5

what is a non - zero force?

Answer 5

A non - zero force is when the forces are unbalanced and produces an acceleration or deceleration

Question 6

how do you work out the resultant force?

Answer 6

Resultant force = Mass (kg) times by Acceleration (m/s2)

Question 7

how do you work out acceleration?

Answer 7

Acceleration = Resultant force times by Mass (Kg)

Question 8

what are reaction forces?

Answer 8

Reaction forces occur when two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite which means if you push something it will push back just as hard
