Force and Motion

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity refers to the rate at which an object changes its position, including the direction of movement.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What happens when forces on an object are balanced?

Back

When forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero, and the object does not accelerate.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity over time.

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force can be calculated by subtracting the opposing forces from the total forces acting in one direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a position-time graph represent?

Back

A position-time graph shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

What is the significance of a flat line on a position-time graph?

Back

A flat line on a position-time graph indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a position-time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope on a position-time graph indicates a higher speed of the object.
