What is the unit for measuring force?

Back

The unit for measuring force is Newtons (N).

Front

Back

A dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does it mean for a quantity to be scalar?

Back

A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.
