Answers

1. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unle

2. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion; potential energy is stored energy due to position.

3. Friction opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.

4. Speed is calculated as distance divided by time.

5. Mass is the amount of matter in an object; weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.
6. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion.

7. Gravity pulls objects toward the Earth's center, giving them weight.

8. Balanced forces do not change an object's motion; unbalanced forces cause changes in motion.

9. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, e.g., a car speeding up.

10. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

11. Work is force applied over a distance.

12. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

13. Simple machines reduce the force needed to do work by increasing distance.

14. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force.

15. Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by a falling object when gravity and air resistance are b
