Front

Why is understanding the concept of velocity important in sports?

Back

It helps in determining the direction and speed of the ball.

Front

How does gravity affect objects in motion?

Back

It can slow them down or change their direction.

Front

If a dodgeball is sitting on a table, which forces are acting on it?

Back

Balanced forces from the table and gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between an object’s velocity and its acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

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 friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.
