Front

What do high pressure systems generally bring?

Back

Cool dry air with fair weather and light winds.

Front

What state of matter is represented by a solid?

Back

A solid has a definite shape and volume.

Front

What does Newton's first law of motion state?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted on by an outside force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.

Front

Which of Newton's Laws explains the principle of action and reaction?

Back

Newton's Third Law.

Front

What is a high pressure system?

Back

A high pressure system is an area where the atmospheric pressure is higher than the surrounding areas, usually bringing fair weather.

Front

What is the definition of a solid?

Back

A solid is a state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
