Force and Motion Review/Study Guide

Front

What is the formula to calculate mass when a force and acceleration are given?

Back

Mass = Force ÷ Acceleration

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The larger the mass of the object, the greater the gravity.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) ÷ Time

Front

What is the effect of friction on motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion and can slow down or stop moving objects.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity includes direction.
