Unit 7: Force and Motion Review

Front

What is a free body diagram?

Back

A graphical representation used to visualize the forces acting on an object.

Front

What does it mean when forces are balanced?

Back

The net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no acceleration.

Front

What does it mean when forces are unbalanced?

Back

The net force acting on an object is not zero, resulting in acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass; greater mass results in greater force when acceleration is constant.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two masses, such as an object and the Earth.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, regardless of how small the time intervals are.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv².

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state, commonly gravitational potential energy.
