Back

Force

Front

According to Newton's second law of motion, what type of force will cause an object to move in the direction of the force?

Back

Unbalanced force

Front

What are the two types of forces?

Back

Balanced and Unbalanced

Front

What can force do to an object?

Back

Accelerate an object, Slow down an object, Have the object remain in place, Have the object change shape, All of the above.

Front

What is the measure of force?

Back

Newtons

Front

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a)

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.
