Net Force
Force Act on Objects

A force is always exerted by an object and always acts on


another object.
NET FORCE

It determines
whether the object
moves or not. It is the sum of all
forces that acts on
It also affects the an object.

A stationary object will
not move while the
forces acting on it are
balanced.

When the net force of

the forces on the object
are unbalanced.
