Force and Motion

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting in the direction opposite to the object's movement.

Front

What happens to an object's velocity when friction acts on it?

Back

The object's velocity decreases.

Front

What is a cause-and-effect relationship?

Back

A cause-and-effect relationship explains how one event (the cause) leads to another event (the effect).

Front

What can understanding cause-and-effect relationships help you infer?

Back

It can help you infer what led to a particular result.

Front

How do you calculate the velocity of an object?

Back

Velocity is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to travel that distance.

Front

What is the formula for velocity?

Back

Velocity = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the strength of a force?

Back

The strength of a force refers to how much push or pull is applied to an object.

Front

How can the same strength force affect different objects?

Back

The same strength force can affect the velocity of different objects in different ways depending on their mass and other factors.

Front

What is a collision?

Back

A collision is an event where two or more objects exert forces on each other, affecting their velocities.

Front

What happens to the velocity of objects during a collision?

Back

The velocity of each object involved in the collision is affected by the forces exerted during the collision.
