Forces and Motion Test Review Flashcardizz

Front

What is momentum?

Back

The measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = Net Force / Mass.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

m/s² (meters per second squared).

Front

What does inertia mean?

Back

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

Front

What happens to a resting object due to inertia?

Back

A resting object will remain at rest.

Front

Does a rough surface affect the speed of an object?

Back

No, the rougher the surface, the slower an object will travel.

Front

Is it harder to stop an object with more mass?

Back

Yes, stopping an object is harder when it has more mass.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is the effect of friction on motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object.
