Force, Mass, and Motion Review

Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for forces to be unbalanced?

Back

Unbalanced forces are not equal, causing a change in motion of the object.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

How can you determine if an object is at rest?

Back

An object is at rest if its position does not change over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity.
