Front

What is velocity?

Back

Describes the speed and direction of an object.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or a pull.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Describes the change in an object's velocity.

Front

What is speed?

Back

The rate at which an object moves or the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

According to Newton's Second Law, Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two masses.
