Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which affects how much gravity acts on it.

Front

What happens to the speed of a ball thrown straight up?

Back

The ball goes slower and slower as it goes up, stops, and then goes faster and faster as it comes down.

Front

How can you increase the speed of a moving object?

Back

By applying a force that continually acts in the direction the object is moving.

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What is the effect of mass on motion?

Back

An increase in mass can make it harder to accelerate an object, while a decrease in mass can make it easier.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A force applied to an object can change its speed or direction of motion.
