Front

How is speed defined?

Back

Speed is how fast an object moves.

Front

What do we call all forces acting on an object?

Back

Net force

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

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 kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv².

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.
