Forces Cause Change

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object when a greater force is applied?

Back

The acceleration increases.

Front

What is the force that allows a compass to show directions?

Back

Magnetism.

Front

How does the mass of an object affect its gravitational pull?

Back

Objects with more mass have a stronger gravitational pull.

Front

What force holds us to the Earth's surface?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What is a force that touches an object called?

Back

Contact force.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A greater force results in greater motion (acceleration) of an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is a non-contact force?

Back

A force that acts on an object without touching it, such as gravity or magnetism.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = m x a).
