Force and Motion Review

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Quickness of motion.

Front

What does Newton's 1st law state about an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest.

Front

What is NOT a way that an object can accelerate?

Back

Friction.

Front

Which has more force: a golf cart (900 lbs), a van (3,100 lbs), a Ford Ranger Pickup Truck (2,800 lbs), or a Lamborghini model X (1,600 lbs)?

Back

A van (3,100 lbs).

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or a pull on an object.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object; weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
