Back

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Front

What is friction?

The resistance that one surface or an object encounters when moving against another.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

A tendency to remain unchanged (keep moving or keep still).

Front

Front

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Back

An object in motion tends to stay in motion while an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by some force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration.

Front

What is the role of gravity in motion?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts objects toward each other, affecting their motion.

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 an example of a non-contact force?

Back

Magnetism.
