Front

What is Speed?

Back

The distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is Inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied (F=ma).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What happens to a ball when it is kicked?

Back

It will continue to move until another force acts upon it.

Front

What is an example of a force?

Back
