motion and forces

Question 1

Answer 2

a resultant force will cause an object to accelerate in the direction as the resultant force

Question 3

What is the equation for velocity?

Answer 3

The equation for velocity (v) is

change in displacement
change in time
—————————
change in time
change in displacement

Question 4

What equation describes acceleration?

Answer 4

Acceleration = initial speed minus final speed / time.

Question 5

Define force.

Answer 5

Force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object.

Question 6

What is the equation for force?

Answer 6

The equation for force (F) is F=ma, where m is mass and
a is acceleration.

Question 7

Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces.

Answer 7

Balanced forces result in no change in an object’s motion, whereas unbalanced forces cause acceleration or changes in motion.

Question 8

Explain Newton’s second law of motion and its equation.

Answer 8

Newton’s second law states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to the rate of change of its momentum. Its equation is F=ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
