Force and Motion

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is an opposing force that makes objects in motion slow down.

Front

What does gravity do?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts objects towards each other, keeping them grounded.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

Front

What can force do to an object?

Back

Force can accelerate an object, slow it down, keep it in place, or change its shape.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

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