Force and Motion

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull that is exerted on matter.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is required to make an object move?

Back

An unbalanced force.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

The object remains motionless.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

Greater mass requires greater force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

What effect does friction have on motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion and requires more force to move an object.

Front

What is the role of gravity in force and motion?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
