Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Forces that cause a change in motion because they are not equal in size and direction.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, which affects how much force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force of gravity acting on an object's mass.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

Objects with more mass require more force to move or stop than objects with less mass.
