Force and Motion

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull that is exerted on matter.

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

The object remains motionless or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in the context of force?

Back

For a constant force, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What principle explains why a rocket moves in space?

Back

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

Greater mass results in a stronger gravitational force.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)
