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

Back

The more mass an object has, the more force it takes to accelerate it.

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

Newtons (N)

Front

What is the relationship between acceleration and force?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the net force in Newton's laws?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, determining its acceleration.

How does Newton's 1st Law of Motion relate to motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
