Force and Motion

Front

What happens when two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions on an object?

Back

The object remains in the same position because the forces are balanced.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is friction and how does it affect motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the direction of movement.

Front

What occurs when an unbalanced force acts on a stationary object?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

If a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, what is its average speed?

Back

20 meters per second.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when a force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same applied force.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the object's motion.
