Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is Force?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is Mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object changes its velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is the formula to calculate mass?

Back

Mass (m) = Force (F) / Acceleration (a).

Front

What happens to an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

A force that causes an object to change its state of motion (acceleration) because it is not equal in size and opposite in direction to other forces acting on the object.

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

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.
