Front

Do electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel?

Back

No, they can travel through empty space.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

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 is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a)

Front

What is the direction of the net force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object if the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.
