Amplify Force and Motion Chapter 2 Review

Front

What is a cause?

Back

An event or process that leads to a result or change.

Front

What is an effect?

Back

The result or change that occurs due to a cause.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

A change in the velocity of an object, which can occur by increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact, but it does not cause acceleration.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

The speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

If the same strength force is exerted on two objects with different masses, the object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity.

Front

What happens when a stronger force is applied?

Back

A stronger force can cause a greater change in velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A force is required to change the velocity of an object.

Front

What are the three ways an object can accelerate?

Back

By increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction.
