What is the definition of 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 motion in the context of physics?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies toward each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects toward the Earth.

Front

How does mass affect the force of gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are not equal in size and opposite in direction, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion of the object.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

All objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does force affect the motion of an object?

Back

A force applied to an object can cause it to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What happens when two objects collide with different forces?

Back

The object with the greater force will typically continue moving, while the object with the lesser force may stop or change direction.
