Force and Motion

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

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 relationship between mass and force?

Back

As mass increases, for a constant acceleration, the force required also increases.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when a force is applied?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object; it remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

A soccer ball being kicked is an example of unbalanced forces acting on it.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).
