Front

What is a force that moves an object closer to you?

Back

Pull

Front

What force is acting on an object that causes it to fall towards the Earth?

Back

Gravity

Front

How can a force change an object's motion?

Back

By changing its direction.

Front

According to Newton’s second law of motion, what does acceleration depend on?

Back

The net force acting on the object divided by the object’s mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = Net Force / Mass

Front

What is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 2,500 newtons?

Back

50 m/s²

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.
