Forces and Motion

Front

What type of friction makes objects slow down and stop?

Back

Sliding friction.

Front

What is Newton's First Law also known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

What happens to an object's gravitational potential energy as its height increases?

Back

It becomes greater.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state about action and reaction?

Back

Every action will have an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What factors affect the strength of the gravitational force on an object?

Back

The mass of each object and the distance between them.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between their centers.
