Amplify- Force and Motion Chapter 1

Front

What is the direction of the force required for an object to speed up?

Back

The direction of the force must be in the same direction as the object's motion.

Front

If the same force is applied to multiple objects, how can we determine which object experienced the strongest force?

Back

All objects experienced the same force if they had the same change in velocity.

Front

What is a push or pull that can cause a change in motion called?

Back

Force.

Front

What happens when the force applied to an object is stronger than the opposing force?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.

Front

What is the effect of a weaker force on an object's motion?

Back

A weaker force may slow down the object or change its direction, but it may not stop it.

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when a force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion, making it harder for objects to start moving or to keep moving.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
