Front

If two boys are pulling with the same amount of force, what will happen?

Back

Front

What is Newton's First 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 does inertia refer to in physics?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass (Weight = mass × gravity).
