Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the role of gravity in motion?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, influencing their motion.
