May the Force be with YOU (no laws)

Front

What is a free-body diagram?

Back

A graphical representation used to visualize the forces acting on an object.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be at rest?

Back

An object is at rest when it is not moving and the net force acting on it is zero.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The larger the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Forces that cause an object to accelerate because they are not equal in size and opposite in direction.

Front

What happens to an object in free fall?

Back

It accelerates downwards due to gravity, neglecting air resistance.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on a falling object?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of the object, reducing its acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A force applied to an object can cause it to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
