Front

What is the formula for force?

Back

F=M*A

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

Mass and acceleration are inversely proportional when force is constant.
