Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is the PUSH or PULL on an object.

Front

What effect do rougher surfaces have on friction?

Back

Rougher surfaces have greater friction.

Front

What is the missing force when an object is being pushed or pulled?

Front

What is the force transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight?

Back

Tension Force.

Front

What is the definition of friction?

Back

Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

Front

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

Back

Static friction acts on objects that are not moving, while kinetic friction acts on objects that are sliding over each other.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the role of tension in a pulley system?

Back

Tension helps to transmit force through the rope or cable in a pulley system.
