What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What is speed?

Back

The distance an object travels per unit of time, often measured in miles per hour (mph).

Front

What is average speed?

Back

What happens when a force is applied to an object moving at a constant speed?

Back

The object's speed will change.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can be an increase or decrease in speed.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, often caused by contact with another surface.
