What force is always acting on the vertical axis?

Gravity is always acting on the vertical axis, pulling objects downward towards the Earth's center.


The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of what?

The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.


What are two forces that are always acting on an object?

Two forces that are always acting on an object are gravity, which pulls the object towards the center of the Earth, and normal force, which is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.


What is meant by all forces in pairs?

When a force is acting on an object, there is always another equal and opposite force acting upon it. For example; a car that is travelling forward has a force of 'Thrust' which is pulling the car forward, as this occurs, 'Drag' or 'Air resistance' is also acting upon the car.


Is it true that projectiles are always affected by centripetal force?

No, projectiles are not always affected by centripetal force. Centripetal force only comes into play when there is circular motion involved. In the case of projectiles, the force of gravity is the dominant force acting on the object.


How can you complete this sentence so it is always true the greater the net force acting on an object?

The greater the net force acting on an object, the greater the acceleration of the object will be.


What two things does an arrow show us about a force?

An arrow shows the direction in which the force is acting and its magnitude or strength.


Does large force always produce a larger impulse on an object than a smaller force does?

Not necessarily. Impulse depends on both the force applied and the time over which it acts. A smaller force acting for a longer time can produce the same impulse as a larger force acting for a shorter time.


How can you complete the sentence so it is always true the greater the net force acting on an object?

the greater its acceleration is


Is the reaction force on a surface always perpendicular to the surface?

No, the reaction force on a surface can be at an angle, especially if there are other forces acting on the object. The reaction force is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the object on the surface.


When can forces be added together to find the net force upon an object?

Yes, when all the forces acting on a body have been resolved, the final force is known as the 'net force' acting on that body.


Rolling friction always reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero?

Rolling friction does not reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero. Rolling friction is a resistive force that opposes the motion of an object moving along a surface, but it does not completely eliminate the net force. The net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object, including rolling friction.
