Force

Front

What is force in physics?

Back

Force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to move it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is the difference between a push and a pull?

Back

A push moves an object away from you, while a pull moves it closer to you.

Front

Can an object at rest move without an external force?

Back

No, an object at rest cannot move without an external force acting on it.

Front

What is an example of a situation requiring more force to move an object?

Back

Moving a heavy object, like a bowling ball, requires more force than moving a light object, like a feather.

Front

What happens to an object when a force is applied?

Back

When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction.

Front

What is friction and how does it relate to force?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact, requiring additional force to overcome it.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on force?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, affecting how much force is needed to lift or move an object.

Front

How does the direction of force affect motion?

Back

The direction of the applied force determines the direction in which the object will move.
