Force and Motion CFA

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object will continue to stay at rest or move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

How do you calculate mass using force and acceleration?

Back

Mass = Force / Acceleration.

Front

What happens to acceleration when the applied force increases while mass remains constant?

Back

Acceleration increases.

Front

What is the relationship described in Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

Define net force.

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

Explain the concept of balanced forces.

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
