Back

Inertia

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum = mass × velocity

Front

Define friction.

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does the term 'net force' refer to?

Back

The total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the property of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.
