Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = M x A

Front

What does the term 'net force' refer to?

Back

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (A) = Net Force (F) / Mass (M)

Front

What is the direction of the net force if an object is moving to the left?

Back

The net force is also directed to the left.

Front

What happens to an object's motion if the forces acting on it are balanced?

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the effect of increasing mass on acceleration if the force remains constant?

Back

Increasing mass will result in a decrease in acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
