Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force according to Newton's second law?

Back

According to Newton's second law, force equals mass times 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 effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object; the object remains at rest or in uniform motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.
