What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the pull of the Earth on objects.

Front

What happens to an object's motion if a greater force is applied?

Back

The object will accelerate, meaning it will speed up.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.

Front

How does mass affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

The greater the mass, the more force is needed to move the object.

Front

What is a graph of speed vs. time?

Back

A visual representation showing how speed changes over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
