Force and motion

Front

What is the definition of distance in physics?

Back

Distance is how far an object moves, regardless of direction.

Front

What does Newton's third law of motion state?

Back

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

Front

How is force defined in physics?

Back

Force is a push or pull acting on an object.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's second law of motion?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity is speed with a direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

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

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
