resultant force

    Cards (7)

    • what is a driving force?
      the force that makes it move - this force pushes the car forward because there is friction between the ground and the tyre of each drive wheel.
    • what is the formula for weight, mass and gfs?
      W = mg
    • weight and mass of an object are directly proportional
    • forces are vector quantities as they use both magnitude and direction
    • how do you find resultant force?
      driving force - total force acting against driving force
    • resultant force must be 0 for equilibrium
    • resultant force is a single force that could be drawn to represent the combined effect of all the forces acting on a body
