Front

What is the net force if two forces of 30 N and 10 N are acting in the same direction?

Back

40 N.

Front

How does mass relate to inertia?

Back

Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.

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 relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What happens to an object at rest when no unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the effect of friction on motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object.
