PS.5.2.1 (5.P.1.4) #1: Schoolnet

Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the force.

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to move it.

Front

What is the relationship between force and distance?

Back

If the same force is applied, objects with less mass will travel farther than those with more mass.

Front

What is the effect of applying the same force to two identical objects?

Back

If the objects are identical and the same force is applied, they will travel the same distance.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What happens to the force needed to move an object if its mass doubles?

Back

The force needed to move the object would also double.

Front

Which object requires more force to move: a full wagon or an empty wagon?

Back

A full wagon requires more force to move because it has more mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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