Force and Motion

Front

What is force?

Back

A force is a push or pull acting upon an object.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object, taking into account their directions.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces are not equal and can cause an object to accelerate or change direction.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).
