SOL 5.3 Motion Review

Front

What is the relationship between force and change in motion for objects of the same mass?

Back

The greater the force, the greater the change in motion will be.

Front

What do we call a situation where all forces on an object are balanced and the object does not move?

Back

Net zero force.

Front

What term is used to describe the interaction when two objects bump into each other?

Back

Collision.

Front

How does the mass of an object affect the impact of a certain force on it?

Back

The more massive an object, the less effect a certain force will have on the object.

Front

What is the primary cause of a change in an object's motion?

Back

Force.

Front

Define 'force' in the context of motion.

Back

A push or pull that can cause an object to change its velocity.

Front

What is inertia and how does it relate to motion?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; it is directly related to the mass of the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

Explain the concept of net force.

Back

Net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object; it determines the object's acceleration.

Front

What happens to an object's motion if the net force acting on it is not zero?

Back

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