Front

According to Newton's first law, what will happen to an object in motion if no external force acts on it?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on it.

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 F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

Front

What is the effect of friction on motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion and can cause an object to slow down or stop.

Front

What is the role of air resistance in motion?

Back

Air resistance is a type of friction that acts against the motion of an object moving through the air.
