Front

What is the absolute value of the slope on a position-time graph?

Back

Average speed.

Front

What happens to a baseball thrown horizontally and a ring dropped vertically at the same moment, neglecting air resistance?

Back

They both hit the ground at the same time.

Front

What unit is force measured in?

Back

Newton.

Front

How do you convert kilometers to meters?

Back

Multiply by 10^3.

Front

What is the term for the tendency of objects in motion to remain in motion and objects at rest to remain at rest?

Back

Inertia.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

More mass means more inertia.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is scalar (magnitude only), while velocity is vector (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.
