Front

If two objects are dropped from the same height in a vacuum, what will happen?

Back

Both will hit the ground at the same time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

What is the SI unit for acceleration?

Back

The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What factors affect the speed of an object?

Back

Distance traveled and time taken.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

If a car travels 100 miles in 2 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 100 miles / 2 hours = 50 mph.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts on it?

Back

The object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
