Front

What is a force?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect the force required to accelerate an object?

Back

Greater mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration.
