Force and Motion Review 1

Front

What direction must a force act in for an object to speed up?

Back

The force must act in the same direction as the object's motion.

Front

What two factors determine the motion of an object?

Back

The mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Velocity includes direction, while speed does not.

Front

What happens to an object's motion when a strong force is applied in the same direction as its motion?

Back

The object will speed up.

Front

Define motion.

Back

The action of moving or changing position.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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