300
What is the difference between Gravity and Gravitation
What is Gravity is the force that pulls things toward Earth and Gravitation is the force that acts between all masses and causes them to attract one another

The distance an object travels divided by the time it takes to travel is its
What is speed
400
The force of attraction that exists between any two masses anywhere in the universe
What is gravitation

What is timer and a tape measure
400
Can an object that moves at a constant speed be accelerating?
What is yes, if the object is moving in a circle at a constant speed, it is always changing direction, so it is always accelerating
400
Why is the gas pedal in a car called an accelerator
What is an accelerator causes a change in the car's velocity
500
The property that describes an object's resistance to changing its motion
What is inertia
500
