Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

Front

What does the term 'net force' mean?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object, while unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
