Back

True.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

f = ma (force = mass × acceleration).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is scalar (magnitude only), while velocity is vector (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is inertia?

Back
