What will happen to a moving object if no unbalanced force acts on it?

Back

It will keep moving.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

Can an object be in motion and still have a net force of zero?

Back

Yes, if it is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object will not change its motion unless a net force acts on it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A passenger lurching forward in a car when it suddenly stops.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be at rest?

Back

It means the object is not changing its position relative to a reference point.
