forces and motion

Front

What is it called when an object stops moving?

Back

stationary

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull that changes the motion of an object.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object through air, causing smaller objects to fall faster than larger ones.

Front

What is momentum in relation to motion?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

Are balanced forces the same forces?

Back

Yes, balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down or stop.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The attractive force between two objects due to their mass.
