What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity (W = m * g).

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

Higher mass means more inertia, which is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

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

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 weight?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, weight increases.

Front

What does a dot graph showing increasing distance over time indicate?

Back

It indicates that an object is speeding up.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight (W) = Mass (m) x Acceleration due to gravity (g).

Front

How does a running back's inertia affect their performance?

Back

A running back's inertia is the resistance to being stopped, allowing them to maintain speed and evade tackles.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses, such as the Earth and an object.
