What is the relationship between weight and the force required to move an object?

Back

The greater the weight of an object, the more force is required to move it.

How does adding mass to a moving object affect the force needed to move it?

Back

Adding mass to a moving object increases the amount of force required to move it.

What is friction and how does it affect motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, slowing down or stopping moving objects.

Front

What does a position over time graph indicate when an object is at rest?

Back

When an object is at rest, the position remains constant while time continues to increase.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

What is inertia and how does it relate to motion?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration when a force is applied?

Back

According to Newton's second law, the greater the mass of an object, the less acceleration it will have for a given force.

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object; the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, changing its speed or direction.
