Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = M x A

Front

What does 'mass' refer to in physics?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is 'acceleration'?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration can be calculated using the formula A = F / M.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces are not equal and can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

If a 25kg bowling ball is accelerated at 2m/s², how much force is needed?
