Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is Force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. It is measured in Newtons (N).

Front

What is Mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg). It does not change regardless of the object's location.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m × a).

Front

How do you calculate Force?

Back

Force can be calculated using the formula: Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a).

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

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 unit of Force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

If an object is accelerating, it is changing its velocity, which can mean speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
