Force and Motion Science EOG Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a certain amount of time.

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Increased friction slows down the motion of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A force applied to an object can change its speed or direction of motion.

Front

Can speed be measured if an object is moving backward?

Back

Yes, speed can be measured regardless of the direction of motion.

Front

What happens to the speed of a ball thrown straight up?

Back

The ball goes slower as it rises, stops at the peak, and then speeds up as it falls back down.

Front

What is the effect of mass on motion?

Back

An increase in mass can make it harder to change the motion of an object.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed or direction.
