Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What happens to an object when a force is applied?

Back

It can accelerate, decelerate, or change direction depending on the force applied.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object changes its velocity.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

Objects with more mass require more force to change their motion compared to lighter objects.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
