Force and Motion - 6th Grade

Front

If the net force is 0, what will happen to the object?

Back

The object will STAY the SAME, NOT Move.

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, which can be calculated by adding all the individual forces together. In this case, it is 40 N.

Front

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

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force. For example, if the forces are 60N to the right and 0N to the left, the net force is 60N to the right.

Front

What does it mean when an object is at rest?

Back

An object is at rest when it is not moving and its position is not changing over time.

Front

Which graph shows that a car is stopped?

Back

Graph H shows that the car is stopped.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net force.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass, measured in newtons.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It can be caused by a change in speed or direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What does a balanced force mean?

Back

Balanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
