Force and Motion Concepts

Front

Energy can be converted and exchanged through energy transfer.

Back

This concept is important in understanding force and motion.

Front

Racecars are built to maximize acceleration.

Back

This is an example of applying force and motion principles.

Front

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other.

Back

Gravity gives weight to physical objects and is responsible for the falling of objects.

Front

Objects thrown into the air often follow an arc due to gravity.

Back

The path is called projectile motion.

Front

The floating sensation on a roller coaster is due to changes in speed and direction.

Back

This sensation is often referred to as 'weightlessness' during free fall.

Front

reaction

Back

An equal and opposite response to a force being applied.

Front

Heavier objects do not always fall faster.

Back

Without air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Front

Space station orbits create weightlessness.

Back

In orbit, astronauts and objects fall together, creating a sensation of weightlessness.

Front

The force of gravity on the Moon is weaker, so you would weigh less there.

Back

Your weight changes with the strength of gravity.
