Amplify Force/Motion EOM Review 23-24

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Mass remains constant while weight depends upon gravity.

Front

What measures an object's tendency to resist changing its motion?

Back

Inertia

Front

What happens to friction when an item moves on a rough surface?

Back

It will increase.

Front

In what direction will a sphere travel on a smooth, level surface when a force is applied to the left?

Back

To the left.

Front

What is the net force when forces on an object are balanced?

Back

Zero.

Front

Define mass.

Back

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

Front

Define weight.

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is the effect of increased mass on weight?

Back

As mass increases, weight also increases, assuming gravity remains constant.
