Front

What is inertia?

Back

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Forces that are not equal and can cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is a frictionless surface?

Back

A hypothetical surface where no friction acts on an object, allowing it to move freely.

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

It shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
