Front

The force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight is called?

Back

tension

Front

The tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest (or an object in motion to stay in motion) is known as?

Back

inertia

Front

If the acceleration is 600 m/s/s and the mass is 300 kg, what is the force?

Back

180,000 N

Front

The sum of all the forces acting on an object is called the _____ force?

Back

net

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.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a)

Front

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

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does the term 'friction' refer to?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.
