Force and Motion Review

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 formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (F = ma)

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly related to the mass of the object.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses. It pulls objects toward each other.

Front

What is a 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.
