Forces Practice

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational pull?

Back

Objects with more mass exert a stronger gravitational pull compared to objects with less mass.

Front

What is the definition of gravity?

Back

Gravity is a non-contact force that attracts two bodies towards each other, proportional to their masses.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between surfaces.

Front

What happens to an object on a ramp when released?

Back

When an object is released on a ramp, it will accelerate down the ramp due to the force of gravity overcoming friction.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time, typically measured in meters per second.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its state of motion; more massive objects have greater inertia.

Front

What is a non-contact force?

Back

A non-contact force is a force that acts on an object without physical contact, such as gravity or magnetic force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the effect of increased friction on motion?

Back

Increased friction reduces the speed of an object and can prevent it from moving.
