Physics Review

Front

What does F=ma represent?

Back

The relationship between force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a), known as Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

Front

What is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path?

Back

Centripetal force.

Front

Which law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Back

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final speed - Initial speed) / Time.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

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

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the effect of mass on acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force is constant.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration.
