Forces Unit Review

Front

What is NET FORCE?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newtons (N) is the unit used to measure force.

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is Friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down or preventing it from moving.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is Gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is Inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

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

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating Force?

Back

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