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
