Force, Mass, Acceleration (Flashcardizz)

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force (F_net) is calculated using the formula: F_net = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

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

Back

The unit of force in the SI system is the Newton (N).

Front

How do you calculate the force acting on an object given its mass and acceleration?

Back

Force (F) can be calculated using the formula: F = m × a, where m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in meters per second squared.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force according to Newton's second law of motion?

Back

According to Newton's second law, the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m × a).

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces occur when the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be unbalanced?

Back

Unbalanced forces occur when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

If an object has a mass of 50 kg and is accelerating at 5 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

The force applied is 250 N, calculated using F = m × a (50 kg × 5 m/s²).

Front

What is the direction of motion for an object if the net force is directed to the left?

Back

If the net force is directed to the left, the object will move to the left.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the mass of an object on the force required to achieve a certain acceleration?

Back

Increasing the mass of an object requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration, according to F = m × a.

Front

How does friction affect the net force acting on an object?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object, reducing the net force acting on it.
