Front

What is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion?

Back

Inertia

Back

Newton's 1st Law

Front

What happens to a coffee cup on a seat when a car stops quickly?

Back

The coffee spills due to inertia, illustrating Newton's 1st Law.

Front

What type of forces cause a change in an object's motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces

Front

How is a force defined?

Back

A force is defined as a push or a pull.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life?

Back

A passenger lurching forward in a car when it suddenly stops.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces do.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back
