What is the term for the resistance of an object to change its state of motion?

Back

Inertia.

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when a force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same applied force.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

In a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv^2, where m is mass and v is velocity.
