A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object when more mass is added?

Back

The object will move more slowly if the same force is applied.

Front

What is an outside force?

Back

A force that comes from outside an object, which can change its motion or direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between two surfaces.

Front

How does increasing force affect the motion of an object?

Back

Increasing force can make an object move faster or change direction.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, Force = Mass × Acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of a balanced force on an object?

Back

A balanced force does not change the motion of an object.
