What is the definition of mass in physics?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object.

Front

How does mass affect the change in speed of an object when forces are applied?

Back

An object with more mass will experience less change in speed compared to an object with less mass when the same force is applied.

What happens to the speed of an object when it experiences a force?

Back

The speed of an object changes when it experiences a force, depending on the strength and direction of that force.

In a collision between two objects of different masses, which object will experience a greater change in speed?

Back

The object with less mass will experience a greater change in speed compared to the object with more mass.

What is the relationship between force and mass according to Newton's second law of motion?

Back

According to Newton's second law, force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma), meaning that for a given force, an object with more mass will accelerate less.

What is the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions?

Back

The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, assuming no external forces act on the system.

How can you determine which object experienced the strongest force in a collision?

Back

The object that changes speed the most after a collision experienced the strongest force.

What factors influence the change in speed of an object when it is hit?

Back

The mass of the object, the strength of the force applied, and the direction of the force all influence the change in speed.

What is the effect of direction on the outcome of a collision?

Back

The direction of the force applied during a collision can significantly affect the resulting speed and direction of the objects involved.

How does the mass of an object relate to its inertia?

Back

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its state of motion, and it is directly related to the mass of the object; more mass means more inertia.
