Force & Motion Review

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between two surfaces.

Front

What happens to an object's motion when a greater force is applied?

Back

The object will accelerate and move faster.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the pull of the Earth on objects.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, greater mass results in less acceleration when the same force is applied.

Front

What is a scientific method?

Back

A systematic process for investigating phenomena, including making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data.

Front

What does it mean to organize data from observations?

Back

To arrange and present collected information in a clear and understandable way, often using charts or graphs.

Front

What is the effect of increasing friction on motion?

Back

Increasing friction slows down the motion of an object.
