Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed along with direction.

Front

What force slows down a skateboard on gravel?

Back

Friction is the force that slows down the skateboard.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Front

What happens to a toy car when you push it and let go?

Back

The car keeps moving due to inertia.

Front

What can acceleration measure?

Back

Acceleration can measure how much an object slows down, speeds up, or changes direction.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law is F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What does mass refer to in physics?

Back

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.

Front

How does gravity affect objects?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards each other, giving them weight.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration.

Front

What is an example of friction?

Back

An example of friction is when you rub your hands together and they get warm.
