Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is a Newton?

Back

A Newton is a unit of force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What does the 2nd Law of Motion state?

Back

The 2nd Law of Motion states that more force must be applied to accelerate heavier objects.

Front

What does the 1st Law of Motion state?

Back

The 1st Law of Motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it.
