FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Back
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which does not change regardless of location. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, which can change depending on the gravitational field.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is terminal velocity?
Back
Terminal velocity is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium (like air) prevents further acceleration.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What role does air resistance play in falling objects?
Back
Air resistance opposes the motion of falling objects, causing them to slow down until they reach terminal velocity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?
Back
The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
In a vacuum, how do objects fall?
Back
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as there is no air resistance to slow them down.
