Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is Force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. It is measured in Newtons (N).

Front

What is Mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is the unit for Mass?

Back

The unit for mass is kilograms (kg).

Front

What is the unit for Acceleration?

Back

The unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

What does it mean if forces are balanced?

Back

Balanced forces mean that the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean if forces are unbalanced?

Back

Unbalanced forces result in a net force that is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

How do you determine the direction of motion?

Back

The direction of motion is determined by the direction of the net force acting on the object.
