Force & Motion Evaluate SC.5.P.13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to move or change its motion.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, which affects how much force is needed to move it.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, often caused by contact with another surface.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

A type of friction that acts against objects moving through the air, slowing them down.

Front

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?

Back

The forces combine to create a greater force.

Front

What happens when two forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The forces subtract from each other, resulting in a net force.

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.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied (F=ma).
