Back

The distance an object travels per unit of time, often measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object changes its speed or direction.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object thrown upwards?

Back

It slows down until it stops at the highest point, then speeds up as it falls back down.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is returning to its starting point.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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