What is the definition of net force?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces acting on it.

Front

What moon phase is observed from Earth when the moon is full?

Back

The full moon phase occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky.

Front

What is malleability?

Back

Malleability is the ability of a material to be deformed or shaped under compressive stress, often by hammering or rolling.

Front

What is ductility?

Back

Ductility is the ability of a material to stretch or deform under tensile stress, allowing it to be drawn into wires.

Front

How do you calculate distance traveled if speed is constant?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What is the significance of the Earth's tilt in relation to seasons?

Back

The tilt of the Earth on its axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the seasons.

Front

What is the difference between a metal and a nonmetal?

Back

Metals are typically malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are usually brittle and poor conductors.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the role of gravity in the solar system?

Back

Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and moons in orbit around planets.
