Back

Rest

Front

On which surface would a toy car travel the furthest when pushed?

Back

Front

Which of Newton's Laws explains why a lighter truck accelerates faster than a heavier truck?

Back

Newton's second law

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's first law state?

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 the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the gravitational force acting on that mass.
