Amplify- Force and Motion Chapter 1

Front

What is the direction of the force required for an object to speed up?

Back

The force must be in the same direction as the object's motion.

Front

What is speed in a particular direction called?

Back

Velocity.

Front

What is a push or pull that can cause motion?

Back

Force.

Front

What happens to an object when it hits something?

Back

It can change its motion, such as speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What is one way an object's motion can change?

Back

Speeding up.

Front

What is the term for the rate at which an object moves?

Back

Speed.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

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 causes an object to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).
