FORCES & ENERGY REVIEW 2023

Front

What does Newton's Second Law state about mass and force?

Back

If you increase the mass of an object, it requires more force to change the object's motion.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

How can you determine if forces are balanced?

Back

Forces are balanced if the net force is zero, meaning there is no change in motion.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object, measured in Newtons (N).

Front

What type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Energy due to motion is called kinetic energy.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does increasing mass affect acceleration?

Back

Increasing mass decreases acceleration if the same amount of force is applied.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).
