Net Force Worksheet: Name - Date

This document contains a worksheet on net force with definitions of key terms like net force, balanced forces, and unbalanced forces. It includes diagrams of objects with multiple forces acting on them and asks the student to calculate the net force and predict if there will be a change in motion, and if so, in what direction. It concludes with a diagram of a tug-of-war and asks the student to write a short paragraph describing what will happen using terms like net force, balanced/unbalanced forces, and change in motion.

Net Force Worksheet


What causes objects to move? For each problem, complete the questions using your notes and what you have
learned so far in this Forces Unit.

1. Write the definition of each term in the definition column. Then decide whether that force produces motion and
write either yes, no or it depends in the motion column.

Vocabulary Definition Change in motion? (yes,


term no or it depends)

Net force

Balanced forces

Unbalanced
forces

2. For each of diagram, determine the net force acting on the object. Follow the format for showing your work
shown in (a). Then, write whether or not there will be a change in motion. If yes, write the direction the object will
move in.

a.
2N 4N

Net force: 4 N – 2 N = 2 N to the left.

Change in motion: The box will move to the left.

b.
2N
4N

Net force:

Change in motion:

c.
8N 10 N

Net force:

Change in motion:
d.

10 N 2N

Net force:

Change in motion:

e.

5N 5N

Net force:

Change in motion:

f.
5N 5N

Net force:

Change in motion:

g.
5N
10 N
2N

Net force:

Change in motion: Below is a diagram of a tug-a-war. Write a short paragraph


to describe what will happen, using the terms net force,
balanced OR unbalanced forces, AND change in motion.
