Force and Motion

Front

What is the definition of force in physics?

Back

Force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object.

Front

What is motion in physics?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does a magnet interact with magnetic materials?

Back

A magnet attracts materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) x acceleration (a).

Front

What is the effect of applying a greater force on an object?

Back

Applying a greater force on an object will increase its acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion.

Front

What is the concept of action and reaction forces?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, as stated in Newton's third law of motion.
