Force and Motion

Front

What is force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when a force is applied?

Back

The object will start to move in the direction of the applied force.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration it will experience.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which affects how much force is needed to move it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What is the effect of reducing friction on motion?

Back

Reducing friction allows an object to move faster and more easily.

Front

What is a dependent variable in an experiment?

Back

A dependent variable is what you measure in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What does it mean when an object is in motion?

Back

It means that the object is changing its position relative to a reference point.
