Amplify- Force and Motion Chapter 1

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull that can cause motion.

Front

What determines the speed of an object when two forces are applied?

Back

The stronger force will cause the object to travel faster.

Front

What happens to an object when a force is applied in the opposite direction of its motion?

Back

The object will slow down and eventually stop.

Front

What is one way an object's motion can change?

Back

An object can speed up.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is required to change the motion of an object.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma).
