Front

What is the formula for force?

Back

F=ma

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force on an object after the forces are added together.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Movement of an object that is created by the application of a force.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law of Motion state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Friction that prevents an object from starting to move.

Front

What is sliding friction?

Back

Friction that occurs when two surfaces slide against each other.

Front

What is rolling friction?

Back

Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration (F=ma).
