Motion and Stability (Part 2)

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is stability?

Back

Stability refers to the ability of an object to maintain its position or return to it after being disturbed.

Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it rubs against another object.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the effect of a larger force on an object?

Back

A larger force will cause a greater change in the motion of an object.
