The unit for force
What is a Newton
100

The unit for velocity

Meters per second

A hammer and a feather are dropped at the same time on the moon. They both reach the ground at the same time. Why?

There is no air, so all objects will fall at the same rate

The distance a car travelled if it drove at 40 m/s for 30 minutes

What is 72 km?

D = v*t = 40 m/s * 1800 s

D= 72,000 m = 72 km
