A force is a push or pull.Net force is the combination

(sum) of all acting forces.

Page 3: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

90° The Normal Force is

perpendicular to the surface.

Page 4: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

The Net Force is 10N.

40N + (-30N) = 10N

Page 5: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Yes!If it moves at a constant

velocity in a straight line. Then ΣF = 0.

MagnitudeAnd

Direction

Page 7: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

It means that the sum of all the forces that act on an

object in equilibrium equal zero.

Page 8: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Scalar quantity is measured by magnitude only; a

number.Vector quantity needs both magnitude and direction for

its description.

Page 9: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Both forces are equal in magnitude, but opposite in

directions. Thus, the net force is zero.

Page 10: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Force and velocity are vector quantities.

Time, area, and volume are scalar quantities.

Page 11: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

The net force is zero, as the rule ΣF = 0 states.

Page 12: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

It is correct to say no net force, as both gravity and

the normal force of the floor act on the cat.

Page 13: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

The maximum will occur when the forces are in the same

direction – so 20N +12N = 32N.The minimum will occur when

they are in opposite directions – so 20N + (-12N) = 8N.

Page 14: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

The sum of all the forces (net force) must equal zero. Yes,

it must be zero if it is in mechanical equilibrium.

Page 15: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Agree!If only a single force acts on

it, it will not be in equilibrium. There must be

one or more additional forces to produce zero net force for

equilibrium.

Page 16: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

There are two:Weight and the Normal

Force.

Page 17: Mechanical Equilibrium Questions

Yes – It is not undergoing a change in motion. The force if the moving puck is equal but opposite the frictional force between the ice

and hockey puck.

200N.Since it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it is in

equilibrium. Therefore, the force Alyssa puts on the crate is

the same as the force of friction.
