Force & Motion Test Review

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion. Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Define gravitational force.

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses, which causes objects to be pulled towards each other, such as objects being pulled towards the Earth.

What does it mean for an object to be in motion?

Back

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a reference point over time.

Front

How does mass affect the motion of an object?

Back

The mass of an object affects its inertia, which is the resistance to changes in motion. Heavier objects require more force to change their motion.

What is speed, and how is it calculated?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is calculated using the formula: speed = distance / time.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object if it is not moving?

Back

If an object is not moving, its speed remains zero.

Front

Explain the concept of distance in relation to motion.

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object in motion, regardless of direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance traveled by an object?

Back

The formula for calculating distance is: distance = speed × time.

How does the force applied by a batter affect a baseball's motion?

Back

The force applied by the batter affects the baseball's motion by determining its speed and direction after being hit.

What is the significance of a graph in representing motion?

Back

A graph can visually represent the relationship between distance and time, showing how an object's position changes over time.
