What does Newton's 1st law state about an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What term describes forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction?

Back

Balanced forces.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = m x a).

What is the significance of Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

It states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when a force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.
