Force and Motion

Front

What effect does force have on an object?

Back

It can change the object's shape.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or a pull that causes motion.

Front

What type of force is gravity?

Back

A non-contact force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration).

Front

If mass is 1600kg and acceleration is 5m/s², what is the force?

Back

8000N.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

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 unless acted upon by a net external force.
