Force and Motion Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is calculated by dividing the distance by the time taken.

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or to keep moving in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

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 acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).
