T1. Flashcard 4: Mass, Force, and Acceleration

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

F = m x a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

How much force is needed to accelerate a 25kg bowling ball at 2m/s²?

Back

50 N

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

What happens when the net force on an object is zero?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is when the total forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

Two people pulling on opposite ends of a rope with equal force.

Front

If a car accelerates around a mountain curve, what type of force is acting on it?

Back

Unbalanced Force

Front

How do you calculate the net force if two forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the net force and direction if a force of 1N is applied to the right and 0N to the left?

Back

1N, Right

Front

How much force did the Hulk use to push a 600kg car accelerating at 2m/s²?

Back

1200 N
