Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, measured in newtons (N). It is calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = m × g).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating work done?
Back
Work done (W) is calculated using the formula: W = F × d, where F is the force applied and d is the distance moved in the direction of the force.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Back
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg), while weight is the force acting on that mass due to gravity, measured in newtons (N).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is equilibrium in physics?
Back
Equilibrium occurs when the net force acting on an object is zero, meaning all forces are balanced and the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to an object when two forces act in the same direction?
Back
When two forces act in the same direction, they combine to create a larger net force, causing the object to accelerate in that direction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does friction affect motion?
Back
Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. It can slow down or stop moving objects.
