Force and Motion

Front

What is the term for a force that moves an object away from another object?

Back

Push

Front

What do we call two forces acting upon each other that are not equal in size, causing motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces

Front

What is the term for the resistance of an object to a change in the speed or direction of its motion?

Back

Inertia

Front

How do we define speed in terms of motion?

Back

A measure of how fast something moves or the distance it moves in a given amount of time.

Front

What is meant by the term 'dimension' in physics?

Back

A measurable quantity of a particular kind such as length, breadth (width), depth, or height.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion; the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it resists changes in its state of motion more.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The attractive force between two objects due to their mass.
