Amplify Force & Motion Study Guide

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object through the air, acting in the opposite direction to the object's velocity.

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law explain?

Back

Newton's Second Law explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, stating that Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of a net force on an object?

Back

A net force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

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 gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses, such as the Earth and an object.
