Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What force holds the solar system together?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What type of friction do wheels on a skateboard experience?

Back

Rolling Friction.

Front

How do you calculate time when distance and speed are known?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed.

Front

What does inertia measure?

Back

An object's tendency to resist changing its 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 unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.
