Forces and Motion

Front

What type of force is acting on objects when the resulting force is greater than zero?

Back

Unbalanced force

Front

What type of friction acts on objects that are not moving?

Back

Static friction

Front

What type of force is acting on objects when the net force is zero?

Back

Balanced force

Front

What is the unit for force called?

Back

Newton

Front

What is the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined called?

Back

Net force

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m * a)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is 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, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects due to their mass.

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of objects and can cause them to slow down or stop.
