Science - Force and Motion Test

Front

What is the term for the distance traveled by an object?

Back

Distance

Front

What does Newton's 1st Law of Motion state?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is defined as a push or a pull?

Back

Force

Front

What is the effect of increased friction on the distance an object travels?

Back

It will travel a shorter distance.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a)

Front

What is the term for the change in position of an object?

Back

Displacement

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it.

Front

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

Back

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