Force and Motion

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

If an unbalanced force acts on a stationary object, what will happen?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the force.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its state of motion (i.e., it can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is any change in the speed or direction of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a).

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects due to their mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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