Force and Motion Benchmark

Front

What is force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is when two forces acting on an object are not equal in size and direction, causing the object to move.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are two equal forces acting in opposite directions on an object, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the unbalanced force.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes changes in motion; without force, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion.

Front

What is a Newton?

Back

A Newton is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.

Front

What is a graph of motion?

Back

A graph of motion visually represents how an object's position changes over time, often showing speed and direction.
