Amplify Force and Motion

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force experienced by an object when it is hit?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force it experiences when acted upon by another object, assuming the same change in speed.

How does the direction of force affect the motion of an object?

Back

The direction of the force determines how the object's motion changes; if the force is in the same direction as the motion, it will speed up, and if it is in the opposite direction, it will slow down.

What is inertia and how does it relate to mass?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly related to mass; the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object when it is pushed by a force?

Back

When an object is pushed by a force, its speed will change depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.

How does friction affect the motion of an object?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down or stop.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force can be calculated using the formula F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

What is acceleration and how is it related to force?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass.

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

Back

When a constant force is applied, an object with greater mass will experience less acceleration compared to an object with less mass.

What is the effect of equal forces acting on objects of different masses?

Back

Equal forces acting on objects of different masses will result in different accelerations; the object with less mass will accelerate more than the object with greater mass.
