Applied Science Force & Motion Review

Front

What is motion?

Back

The act of moving or changing positions.

Front

What type of friction occurs when an ice skater comes to a stop on the ice?

Back

Sliding Friction.

Front

State Newton's second law of motion.

Back

A force acting on an object will change the object's velocity by causing it to speed up, slow down, or change directions.

Front

What type of friction occurs when a skydiver opens his parachute?

Back

Fluid Friction.

Front

What is a push?

Back

A force that moves an object away from another object.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the difference between static and sliding friction?

Back

Static friction prevents motion, while sliding friction occurs when an object is in motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.
