Front

Which of the following is a unit of speed?

Front

What is Newton's 1st 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 inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

Front

What happens to a moving car if no forces act on it?

Back

It will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is a net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.
