What is the definition of gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.
