Front

What force is pulling down on a laptop sitting on a table?

Back

Gravity

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravity

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 acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object.

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.
