S8P3 Milestones Review

Front

What does a position vs. time graph indicate about an object's motion?

Back

It shows whether the object is accelerating, moving at a constant speed, not moving, or decelerating.

Front

How do you determine the size of the force applied to an object with the same acceleration?

Back

Order the objects based on their mass; greater mass means greater force applied.

Front

What is the relationship between the force applied to a hot-air balloon and its acceleration?

Back

If the force is the same, the acceleration will also be the same for all balloons.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law state about forces?

Back

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

Front

What force acts on a chair when someone sits on it?

Back

The downward force exerted by the person is balanced by the upward force from the floor.

Front

How do you calculate net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

Back

Net force is the vector sum of all individual forces acting on the object.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What happens to an object's motion if the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the significance of mass in relation to force and acceleration?

Back

Mass is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration when a force is applied.
