Front

Where is the force of attraction the strongest on a magnet?

Back

At the poles.

Front

What is the tendency of an object to resist change in motion?

Back

Inertia.

Front

Identify the law: an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion without additional forces acting upon it.

Back

Newton's First Law.

Front

What do all electromagnetic waves have in common?

Back

They all have the same speed.

Front

What special tides occur when the moon is in certain positions?

Back

Neap Tide.

Front

What is the definition of inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What are the two types of tides?

Back

Spring Tides and Neap Tides.

Front

What is the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum?

Back

Approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or the speed of light).
