Front

What is the rate of change of velocity?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is the force of attraction between two objects?

Back

Gravity

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance/Time

Front

If a graph is sloping down, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

Back

The object is slowing down (Deceleration).

Front

If a graph slopes up, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

Back

The object is speeding up or moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What is gravitational pull?

Back

Gravitational pull is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What happens to an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a force.
