Combined Forces Quiz

Composite force refers to the combination of multiple forces acting on an object. An example from the given text is the demonstration of multiple forces acting on an object by observation and experimentation.

The fundamental characteristics of force are magnitude (measured with a dynamometer), direction (indicated by arrows), and point of application. These characteristics are used to fully describe a force.

Magnitude refers to the strength of a force, measured in Newtons (N), while direction indicates the orientation of the force, represented by arrows.

<p>Balanced forces result in no change in the object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause acceleration. They are observed and compared by analyzing the motion of objects through drawings.</p> Signup and view all the answers
