SC.6.P.13.3 Force & Motion

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What happens to a raft when a swimmer pushes off from it?

Back

The raft will move in the opposite direction of the swimmer.

Front

Why does the student throwing a bowling ball feel a push backward?

Back

The bowling ball exerts a much larger reaction force due to its larger mass.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What happens to an object when a net force is applied?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What does it mean for an object to have a steeper slope on a distance-time graph?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving faster.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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