Front

What do balanced forces do to an object's speed or direction?

Back

They do not change the object's speed or direction.

Front

What is Newton's First Law?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in free fall?

Back

Gravity is the only force acting on the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on falling objects?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of falling objects, affecting their acceleration.
